Minutes

[Eggcentric@xxxxxxx]

Walter is basically a tall SF. So it is not surprising that when Battie 
plays, 
Walter's minutes at center are those of a third or fourth stringer.  What is 
surprising is that when Battie does not play, Walter's minutes at center 
strangely skip all the way to first string.

Several weeks back, McCarty was playing the best bball of his career.  
Then suddenly without warning, even his minutes at SF were turned over 
to Kedrick who temporarily arose from the dead to once again jog up 
the floor and standeth at the right of the three-point stripe. The 
additions of Long and Blount further impacted Walter's playing time 
eventually leading to only seven minutes against Denver. Then suddenly 
last night, in the absence of Battie, Walter (not Blount) logged thirty-five 
minutes against Utah.  He even won the Tommy Award.  And Kedrick, 
after seeing only six minutes against the Nets, five minutes against the 
Pacers, and a DNP against Denver, was allowed twenty-one minutes. 

Obie's utilization of his roster, in particular his concern in waiting for 
THE PERFECT matchup to unleash these two secret weapons is - well I just 
cannot find the appropriate word for it.
