I agree, Robinson is over the hill and he needs the ball too. Once Tim
Duncan was nominated as the first option on offense Robinson's play has
played very passively. As we all know, passive players will not cut it in
Pitino's system. I think with McCarty back from injury, Pitino is getting
back the player he needs..I think Popeye will be permanently planted on the
bench.

I thought the rumor is Barros for Wesley which I think would be a great deal
for the Celtics. Surely Dana is a better shooter but Wesley isa tough one
one one defender and a much better point guard.

I personally don't want him though he could only help.

Last three games with everybody helping and Walker re-discovering his
rebounding skills I don't think we are suffering in that department. So, I
don't see it to be a pressing need. I think Battie has played very well both
at center and power forward, and is improving with each game.
