Around SBN: Tiger Woods Makes His 2012 PGA Tour Debut

Hedo sick?

Don't think we want him in our locker room and on the payroll with questionable health.

"Update: Magic Head Coach Brian Hill expressed serious concern Monday over the health of small forward Hedo Turkoglu, who has been mired in a season-long shooting slump. Turkoglu, along with point guard Jameer Nelson, missed practice Monday with flu-like symptoms. Turkoglu has been battling the problem since before the season began, often complaining of weariness. The Magic have had Turkoglu undergo numerous tests in hopes of finding the root of his problem, but to no avail. "I'm more concerned with his health [than his shooting woes],'' Hill said Monday. "It just looks like something is missing now. It looks like he's been playing with a lack of energy. It's not a lack of effort, it's energy. And it's tough to play in this league if you don't have energy.''

Analysis: This same condition bothered him last season too, and it very well may not go away this season . . . or ever [doctors have been unable to pinpoint what is wrong with him]. See if you can package Hedo in a multi-player deal so someone else can worry about his health and production.

Well that's interesting
Wasn't it just yesterday that a Turkoglu-Przy trade was being discussed?  Guess that has been shelved.   What is the date of that quote?

That quote's from
five months ago.  He finished the season fine, in line with his normal numbers, he just slumped for a bit in the first half of the season, if you check his post all star splits.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
