With Walter's size he can fit at the 3 well along with Williams.
Unfortunately there is not room for all. After Watching Baron Davis win the
Clipper game I am even more convinced we need him before he returns to L.A.
I could live with Eric or Walter at the 3 spot. If he isn't going to sign
with Charlotte, we should offer Forte (Carolina connection), and some
package excluding Walker & Pierce, even if we have to include Brown or
Johnson or next years draft pick. to get this guy.  I like JJ & Brown's
potential, but it just that, and Davis is a proven commodity. If he does not
resign we should go after him in FA. Hopefully Paul can do some selling!

Victor Alexander looked good in garbage time. I didn't even know he was
still playing.

must win flavor, this was a goodie.  I guess that when Walter scores in
double figures, we're unbeatable.  I don't understand playing Walker or
Walter so much and not playing Kedrick at all, but the coach has done well
by Kedrick recently.  He needs a good offensive game or two and we'll see
more of him.

threes that JJ will match up against better than Eric.  Still, the
substitution patterns have been very well applied.  Eric Williams continues
to develop his floor game--rebounding and passing better than ever.

offensive excesses from causing too much harm.  Over a full game his other
abilities are big plusses and his rash of shooting errors fade by
comparison.  Of course, against the best teams, we win only when he is more
judicious.  Still, others who make fewer mistakes don't provide the extra
contributions that Antoine does.
