You forgot about Waltah!

I like the C's over Philly, and am really glad they didn't pull the Hornets 
in the 1st round. PJ Brown, Cambell and Baron Davis scare me.

With V out, hmm. I hope to see more of McCarty than the horrendous Mark 
Blount.  Maybe it will make way for more minutes for Rogers.

Last night's 4th quarter featured the Walter/Kedrick show - as Cousey said, 
"they must be roomates" the way they were passing to eachother. Kedrick to 
Walter for the slam dunk!

Cous was on Eddie Andelman today (an aside: it's so great having him back 
with his own show - much better than having to listen to the totally inane 
Dale Arnold...) and said:
  - in the playoffs, shooting percentage of 3-pointers drops drastically.
  - playoffs favor strong rebounding teams.

True to his Eeyore self, h doesn't think the Cs will do squat in the 
playoffs - love the Cous!  It's always good to hear his take, because it 
can only get better from there.

Omar Cook is supposed to be amazing in the open floor.  I think it's a 
great pickup for us. Weren't there rumors earlier in the season of him 
coming on for a 10-game stint? Whatever, great move, esp. with no 1st 
rounder this year. He would have easily been in the top 12.
