The only other answer is Big Bird. That dude is 90% energy, 10% results.
I've said, and still maintain, that if AJ were indeed 6'11 he would be playing now. That said, you can still sneak him out there for 5 minutes with Sheed or Dyess somewhere around the 2nd quarter. Let him go against reserves and buy some time.

Rasho Nesterovic looked like Jordan next to Brezec the other night.

I suppose none of this matters anyway. Flip spoke at length about minutes yesterday and, as always, it broke my spirit. I don't even know why the papers all had to run stories about the rotation (?) being trimmed? They got a big game against Sacto tonight. Of course the rotation will be paired.
