I heard Demarr Johnson will likely leave Cincinnati as Bob Huggins might
also. Although he is young and we really need veterans I would take him.A
talent like Lamar Odom.

I have been very happy with the way this team has been playing. Walker and
Pierce have played very well. The one problem is we do not seem to try an
take advantage of the matchups other teams do. Tommy keeps harping on it
also. Last night we should have been going to AW and even VP down low. The
way AW has been playing there are few 4's that can guard him. Why not take
advantage of this as much as possible ?
