Yes..I thought Kedrick played pretty well in general..cept his shot has been 
off.
If it is a form problem I do hope he can correct it. When it comes to defense 
the box score doesn't show everything...

He plays very good on the ball defense. Sure you can run him off double 
screens or use centers to pick him off..but when the "better" player try to 
just beat him one on one they get burned. That IS something. That and his 
hops will give him a job for the next ten years in the league.

But he is an offensive liability right now...so I can understand why OB shies 
away from him alot. We might not see him again till the playoffs....

Walter McCarty has been playing great this year and I say that as a guy who 
doesn't like McCarty.. But I would already favour Kedrick over say Bruce 
Bowen, Eddy Curry or that guy down in Atlanta who hardly scores..

With the Baker trade ...I am not sure it matters..

Truthfully though no one would believe it..last year was our "window." 
Sure...everyone thinks that is crazy..but we had a much better defensive 
scheme to deal with the Lakers then Jersey. Now everyone plays the Lakers the 
way we would have and they look pretty mediocre.
