RE: Schintzius

["Odegaard, Greg M." <GMOdegaa@rmc.com>]

I am sorry, and again I must agree with Paul (it has become almost
carthatic) but who hell cares how Schintz played in college, which team he
played on, which round he made it to riding the back of whichever teammate,
or which cheerleader he dated in high school; this boy doesn't cut it.
Anyone of you out there got a problem with some part of Trav's game, check
out the few seconds of highlight film on this guy.  Don't blink.

I was most concerned about pinning our championship hopes on one Matt Geiger
and his attitude from hell meets a bar he never missed, but this guy puts us
back two steps for sure.  Why why why would we need him with our boy DQ
around.  Isn't one hard working WB on a team enough to get over the hump?

Later,
Ode

Red really liked him in college, primarily because he was (is?) a very good
passer. Knight is really a decent backup power forward. He struggled
because he really isn't a center. He'll do well on the offside of Shaq,
getting open due to double-teams and shagging loose balls. When he does,
remember how lost he'd be in Rick's system.
