Pitino also wanted Rodney Rogers, so watching him coming off the bench is
such an extraordinary manner is painful as well.

If we are going to play the Suns, with Kidd in lineup, I would rather it be
when we are rested and he hasn't picked up a ball in a few days.

Has there been any recent update on Battie?
