[QUOTE="blmillini, post: 1175905, member: 6575"] If we have Thorne back next year, Finke has a year of experience and Nichols can provide any defensive help; we would then at least have the ability to help as other teams continue to torch us off the dribble. If you can add defensive stops by Abrams, then maybe you have some ability to compete. Unfortunately, I think Thorne is the biggest key to that happening and he is only around for a year. Groce has to be able to identify and recruit players that can defend the ball, have an impact inside and rebound. To say he has done a poor job of that is an understatement, regardless of injuries. With Groce I honestly feel like the old cliche Cubs fan... "wait 'til next year!" [/QUOTE]
