Slow start back, I guess. 3 pts, 2 rebs on 1-5 shooting in 17 minutes.

I honestly thought we may not see Sully at all this year and wondered if he maybe just a blip on the NBA radar for the rest of his career. Not really a fair assessment of his situation, but he appeared to fall off a cliff after leaving Boston.

Hopefully he can work his way back into form - both in terms of basketball and physical shape.

Just run, run, run and he will be done.  Pace and Space on offense will not suit his style of defense. 

Also, will he have the willpower to stay at a decent playing weight and healthy?  I would not bet on him doing that given his track record.   I am sure Toronto hopes that maybe he gets it finally but we are talking about a guy that could not do it on a contract year.   A few road trips and per diem and trouble could flare up again.

Yeah, not to count our chickens before they hatch, but here's hoping for a Toronto-Charlotte match-up in the first round of the playoffs. The ECF become a real possibility if we are facing Cha instead of Tor in the 2nd round.
