    Camby is playing less minutes because of health issues. Unless Wallace gets 48 minutes a night, I don't see how you can find any significant amount of rest for Aldridge and not sacrifice on court production. Teams like San Antonio and Los Angeles have the luxury of resting their players, we (who are still fighting for a spot) don't. When was the last time you saw a 6-8 seed make a conscious effort to rest their star players late in the season?

    Winning more games is pointless?? If we don't win more games, we won't make the playoffs. Can't take the playoffs for granted right now. Have to earn it.

    We can rest Aldridge AND win these games. Wallace and Camby give Aldridge some leeway.

    For some reason I got a good feeling with Roy checking in.

    Also, why is no one talking about the 5th seed? We're only 1.5 games behind Denver.

    I said it was pointless if by doing it we lose any chance of making it to round 2.

    Man Patty is the equivalent to downing 5 energy drinks off the bat for what he is giving us at the moment.

    of course the moment I post about how great Patty is he loses the ball and then gives the hornets a huge and 1 opportunity.

    Only at the end of quarters.

    Seriously, it must be something supernatural for someone to be this allergic to end of quarters.

    Patty's positives have wayyyy outweighed his negatives. We wouldn't be in this game at all without his shooting.
