But, Sprewell is still a 40% shooter, and missed the last 2 knick shots.  The 
last one during (what seemed like) the longest 2.1 seconds.  Receive pass, 
acouple of head fakes, dribble to other side of rim, miss fallaway.  I think 
and hope Mercer will develop this year.  Last year was not a good year, and 
the C's should wait to see the imrpovement before giving up the big bucks. (as 
they should have with Walker).
