Well, thats a good sign with Andray playing so well. Also, aren't we supposedly talking to Antonio Daniels?

[DonMagicJuan]

Antonio Daniels? what is he doing watching? O O! is he going to be signed???

Wow, Fitch didn't score a single bucket. That has to hurt his chances of making the team. Blatche got a double-double, I'm impressed but he still needs to go to the NBDL no matter what.

Blatche needs to work on his free throws....and a bit on his FG % although he is shooting 44% from 3 point range.....
