    I have officially renounced his title from "Status Cho" to "Chosen One."

    You know, I would have agreed with you about LMA being Sheed this time last year, but this season he's gone a long way to dispel that theory. As Sheed got older he moved further and further away from the basket. Aldridge on the other hand is moving closer and closer, thus making me happier and happier :grin:

    Amen to that. Looks like starting really helped too.

    It did. But Nate was smart to keep Batum in there and replace Camby with Wallace. When you can go small and still defend and rebound....... then your are that much tougher to match up against.

    I pined for Gerald's addition well before it happened, but if Camby was right with his knee he'd be starting and playing 30+ minutes. If he's able, I expect they'll play him a lot more tomorrow if Bynum isn't serving a deserved suspension

    I know! He played 41 minutes! Makes a difference. That one game was better than anything Batum has ever done. Playoff starting lineup=

    Miller/Matthews/Wallace/Aldridge/Camby
