Well..only problem with the "win with defense" theory..
Tony Battie. The guy is running on fumes...he needs his knee iced after 
practice and so forth. I think he needs the surgery. I love Kedrick...but 
Battie is the key to our defense. Not only is Battie quick and athletic..but 
he just gets it. He knows what to do..for the most part, and he makes good 
decisions.

But I think they guy needs surgery. If his knee is so bad he has to sit out 
practices..there is something wrong. He is a young guy.. I hope they aren't 
tearing up his knee for this season, cause we don't have enough to get it 
done. 

Poor Battie..he is our defense, rebounding and shot blocking in one guy!
Heck teams like New Orleans and Portland seem to have unlimited guys that can 
fill this role. And we have one guy..Battie. Damn..what was wrong with Keon 
Clark?!

And Oh..
Mikki Moore..that guy is scrawny! They are truly trying to make Battie seem 
like a muscle bound beast with this. Is this guy really better then Derek 
Strong?! 

I can't wait to see Moore, McCarty and Battie on the court at the same time. 
LOL.
