looks like the sculpin curse is hitting me right before the bbb final - neacsu is out.

Not good... hopefully it's short.

(P.S. I had another 2-week injury today... luckily only to $1K scrimmage fodder this time. Odd run, though.)

If I were you I would find myself a new doctor. Level 6 or not, that's just not right.

At least I can move Vyberal over to sf - not as good at rebounding or shooting as nicolae, but can handle the defensive assignments.
