Take another week and get healed up, instead of having a nagging injury all season long. Get Fes and Koofus out there and let them cover.

Battier has struggled so far this season along with Budinger or 2 more 3 point threats

just as i write this seconds into the game Brooks was left wide open for a "3"

great start by "Snoyz"

lets see in first 5 minutes, missed free throw, 2 turnovers, and twice in position allowed Scola and Hayes to outwork him to get offensive rebounds, as once did not try, and the other one half hearted effort stretching out one arm...
