Uhm... Okay, you too bro.

Somewhat agree. Counting on Battier having one or two last sparks left in him can be a very dangerous notion

He is thinking about retiring at the end of the season for a reason. I guess Spo's rotation so far indicates that we concede that we are outmatched at PF position all game long, but he deems that we are still good enough to win despite of that disadvantage. I am hopeful that we can fill some void there in the off season.

I just don't think Battier has it anymore, don't think that magic for a entire series(OKC) or even a single game(Spurs Game 7) is there anymore. He literally looks like a corpse more times than not. Between him and Lewis it's just too much of a burden having negative impact players out there.

I wish LeBron would go back to banging on the boards like he did last year so he could man the 4 and you could possibly insert James Jones into the starting lineup for spacing. It's too much to ask though for him to be the leading rebounder and give 25-30 a night, wasted energy.

It's better to be timely than good.

all down to the 3.

Battier, Allen, Chalmers and Lewis have to hit some. They do and we win.

Are we really counting/expecting Lewis to hit 3s? Seriously now

2 years on team & plenty of forced minutes and were still waiting on a reason why he plays. Generally it's something that stands out like Blocks for Joel or Turnovrt margin for Chrid Quinn but Lewis is in a rate class of bad. Terrible shooting, terrible D, not big or strong in the post, bad rebounder, not athletic, not young, not a fan favorite... Nothing really.. But coach likes him. Don't know why or how but he does.
