Yes if they ask the questions they say they will ask, could get a little testy. Of course they can have a little more tact than Mike North.

for his own sake, i wish paxson didn't do so many radio interviews. seems like he does at least 2 a week since december.

I hope they question the sporadic and little playing time of the youngsters, specifically Tyrus. Actually ask Pax why we drafted him b/c if we are in 'win now' mode with Wallace and Smith, it's not like they are helping us win games. And since we're not winning, why not develop the "#2" pick since we have much invested in him.

Personally, I think its the company line to deny, deny, deny. Boylan going on about Wallace having 5 boards while having to guard Foster last night was . . . indescribable.

We aren't going to get anything interesting today and there is some logic to that. GM's and coaches trashing their players really does hurt trade value.

I'd like them to ask about Duhon.

I already know the answer to the Wallace questions - he's a major free agent acquisition that will behave like a petulant child if he doesn't play and the organization doesn't have the stones to stand up to him.

And I know the answer to the Thomas questions - we actually have productive players in front of him at the 4 spot.

But the Duhon question, whats the answer to that one? He's on an expiring deal, he's inexpensive, he's ineffective, his stature amplifies our size problems in the backcourt, and we have a lottery pick who obviously should have been empowered to play ahead of him this whole damn time. I want to know the explanation for that one.

Thanks. Done. I just sent in a question for them to ask about Thabo vs. Duhon.

I can't get the show down here to hear if they ask it, or a question similar to it. Looking forward to a recap from anyone who can provide it.

If there is no sound they might be listing the advantages to playing the vets over the youngsters.

He's on now - just finished talking about Kirk and last night's game. Pax hopes Kirk rebounds back to his 16.5 ppg 45% average from last year.

No kidding Pax, we all do... :banghead:

More to come...
