    Of course he will start (at some point). You don't acquire a player like A. Miller...err...G. Wallace to have him come off the bench behind a lesser player. :)

    I think Wallace makes more sense off the bench, so he could come in and play the 4 initially, coming in for Camby, with Batum staying at the three. Then, Camby can come back in for Aldridge, and if we had a PF, him too. But I much prefer Crash at PF to Batum, so his flexibility in that regards makes me prefer him off the bench. That and Batum's shooting to start the game, outside for Aldridge. But, I want Wallace starting next season for us, if we hopefully acquire more players to play up front.

    My respect level of Nate just went up a notch. Very funny gesture.

    He should tell the players that anybody that makes an All Star team is allowed to wear a headband.

    I think Nate did this to loosen up Wallace and the rest of the team. You could tell they were pressing in the Atlanta game. Hopefully it has the desired effect tonight.

    I would have felt better if Nate had come out wearing knee pads and then passed them out to everyone on the team.

    Be Easy man. All anyone heard is a story on the radio about how it went down. It's not like Nate signed contracts with the players about a dress code policy. Only time will tell on your question.

    That's what I'm talking about.

    What was Sheed doing at practice? Did we sign him? Sadly, our frontline does have a need for Sheed.

    lol I'm not really pissed I was just being in ass to bump my question. I would hope though that special treatment wouldnt be being made for just 1 player. But I doubt thats the case.

    The only game you've been to all year and you didn't notice that he wasn't wearing a headband?
