Re: Byron Scott's quotes

["Dan Forant" <dforant1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OB was and is wrong to play Pierce and Walker for big minutes in pre season.
God knows we're going to need them for 45 each nite with this outfit just to
keep it close. Byron Scott should mind his own business and not comment on
other coaches. He has been blessed with a very good team that has gotten
better through trading.
