Who remembers this beast with PP back in the days? They were busting their butts off and were scoring beasts! If only we had other pieces to the puzzle.

So what do you guys think AW?

I knew Walker was getting out of shape, but I didn't realize how bad it was until I saw the Wolves game last week. In addition to that, 4 of his 5 shots were threes IIRC, and he missed all 4.

Looking at both him and Posey as they are now, I find it hard to believe Walker started over him in Miami.

I think Walker can still help a team that is willing to use him. The Wolves are not that team. They are focused on getting Gomes, Brewer and Smith as many minutes as possible. They only play Walker to make it look like they aren't trying to tank.

Something tells me that come playoff time, Rivers won't be using Powe or BBD....he'll resort to using Scal or something.

We really need to get Cassell or Gary Payton...someone better than Scal.

Starting in front of Posey, or starting in front of Walker?

Based on your comment I'd assume you're talking about Scal starting over Posey, but James has been injured and is the heart and soul of our bench production. If it weren't for him providing a spark when the starters rest they'd be playing catch-up all game long, so even if that means Scal starting I'll take it.

I'm not defending Scal by saying that, but he's taken so much of a whipping over the years there's no reason to go there anymore. I will say this about him, though: he looks to pass first, second, third, and fourth to his better teammates. Walker tends to think he IS that "better teammate".

As for the Bobby Hill reference earlier, I thought I was the only KOTH fan until now. That show's definitely an acquired taste but hilarious in it's own subtle way.
