Raja usually shoots extremely well in the playoffs, and he's a much smarter defender (not nearly as athletic though), so he would have been an excellent role player for us.
We were actually pretty damn fortunate that things turned out the way that they did (getting SB after all else failed).
Having said that, Brown's been awesome. If he keeps this up then he's going to mess around and get a starting job over Fisher.
Maybe he means he's glad it worked out. Shannon came back much more improved than anyone could have predicted.
