MAVS NEWS: Luka Wins Community Cares Award! | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

I feel dumb as dirt about OMax, so I lose all bragging privileges.

I'd suggest giving it some time.  How much had Hardy shown 7 games in last season?  He had played a total of 10 minutes in two of the games and didn't get consistent opportunities until January.  

It is tough to integrate young guys and win.  Heck, even now we are still trying to work Hardy in little by little.  We are also putting a ton of focus on Lively (and rightfully so).  I never thought there was a chance we'd give big minutes to both Lively and OMax simultaneously to start the season.  My hope is they handle him similarly to what they did with Hardy last year.  I thought all along we got youngsters, but we also got vets at similar positions to hold down the fort until the youngsters were ready (Exum, Seth, DJJ, Holmes).
