And I still submit that with Battie and Delk in the lineup last night, we
win that game.  I think Bremer should be expected to be a bit up and down
when he tangles with the experienced, cagey vets like Stockton, Kidd or
Payton.  All things considered, I think he has done remarkably well.

Does anyone else find themselves screaming for the ballhandler to give it to
Kedrick anytime he is on the wing during any advantage situation?  4 steals
last night.  Not too shabby.

Maybe we need to start Blount and bring Battie off the bench if his knees
are that bad.  He could come in with Waltah and Kedrick and create some
havoc defensively.  Yeah, I know...who's gonna score, right?  As if they
would be any worse than the rest of them?
