Josh, I only heard the last 15 minutes or so, I don't know if the Mercer
situation was discussed. Remember, in Miami, Mercer is not important
fodder for talk. Miami fans big basketball talk is how disappointed they
are in their team and  in fact they place a lot of their downfall on
Jamal, who they perceive as very soft and wimpy. They don't know much
about Basketball, but in this case even they figured out, what just
about ALMOST (This list still has it's Jamal lovers) every Boston fan
knew, that he is a zero. I personally would let Mashburn be the
Albatross around Riley's throat.
