    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">ORLANDO, FLA. ? Sam Cassell is still sitting and waiting, which isn't what he expected.

    The vocal point guard figured he would be leading the Clippers to new heights in his 14th season, but things have not gone according to plan for him or the team.

    Cassell is sidelined because of a painful heel injury, and the Clippers are two games under .500 as they begin a six-game, 10-day trip tonight against the Orlando Magic at Amway Arena.

    The Clippers, however, have won three in a row, and Cassell said he hoped to return soon. But it could take time for him to become comfortable in his new role as Shaun Livingston's backup.

    "It's a whole new role for me right now," Cassell said. "Me coming off the bench ? I'm just not used to this. I'm not the type of guy who comes in and gives you a spark. That's just not my whole thing. I can try to do it, but I'm not accustomed to it."</div>

    Well he has been injured, and Shaun has been playing fairly well on both sides of the court, so I guess it happens and he'll have to get used to it.
