Ya know, that's an interesting question. The knee jerk reaction is - of 
course not. But then you consider the fact that Baker may just be one of 
those guys who plays exponentially better starting than coming off the 
bench, while Tony seems capable of doing either (without even getting into 
what a role reversal might do to his chronic knee) and you have to consider 
the possibility...

As for the captains' points, except for the 4th quarter (and I suppose 
that's where you've got live with your go-to guys going), this is a game 
where they don't bother me because not much was forced. Walker was simply 
ON earlier with the 3s and got another bunch taking it to the hoop earlier 
in the game when that was exactly what we needed someone to do - not forced 
in other words. Paul had a relatively low point total as a result for the 
1st half and into the 3rd quarter, and only padded things up towards the 
end, when he did force some shots.
