Reunited

I grew to learn how Mark was last year, so it didn't really bother me this year. But last year [when Blount used to sulk in the locker room], it was more like, 'What's wrong with him? What's going through his head?' This year it was like, 'OK, that's just Mark.'

Poor, Al.

First he gets teamed with one of the worst teammates in NBA history, Mark Blount. Then he endures a series of ankle problems with the Celtics. Just when he looks like he turned the corner on those problems, he's dealt to the Wolves, where, for a second time he starts coming into his own. Then he blows out his knee, and now this.

Poor Al.

A guy just shouldn't have to suffer through Mark Blount more than once.
