It is kindof scary that playing time and position is not given out based on 
what is best for the team. When it seems obvious that Battie (or some free 
agent PF) should be the starting PF with Walker at 3 and Pierce at 2, all we 
can hope is that Mercer is traded to solve the starting lineup problem. 
Either that or we can just continue to lose...
