<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Cavaliers activated rookie guard Jason Kapono before Tuesday night's game in Detroit and placed forward Tony Battie on the injured list with a bruised left knee. Battie, acquired in a Dec. 15 trade with Boston, has been bothered by a sore knee for weeks. The Cavs have had to reduce his practice schedule and have monitored him closely. </div> Full Story
i know he won't but i wish kapono could get some playing time the guy can flat out shoot. I don't mean start or anything but hey lebron at the #3 kapono at the # 2 and mcinnis at the #1 is a big time triple threat on the court.
We needed Battie's production last night. And we would REALLY need it tonight. He would have been a valuable key to help DT Shaq.
Most likely. More like for SURE. He's a huge part of this team and with him we have another BIG body to sub in.
I wouldnt push it that far they have a better chance with Battie. That doesnt mean automatic bid for the playoffs
We really need him quite much in games, so I hope he'll be back soon, and help his team more! Love the rotation of Zydrunas, Diop and Battie, it's good, every man step up, and we got no bad center!
Bad news....Battie is a very hard worker and a key defensive player off the bench. His spark, energy and decent play are needed. I hope he gets back soon.
Cavs probably win the Lakers game if Battie is healthy. His D is comparable to Diop's, but he also brings a half way decent offensive game. When he went on the IR, the Cavs should have signed a big man for a 10 day if they couldn't bring Boumtje-Boumtje off the IR. Having only two big guys while playing against Shaq is just asking for trouble. I like Kapono's shot, but he's never going to see a lot of PT unless his defense improves. I really think we could work him into games more often, but Silas' rotation has always been an enigma to me.
