The thing about Pop’s madcap rotations is you don’t if a player is held out because of a possible trade or just because there’s a crescent moon.
I think this needs to be in the quotes section.
Don't compare RJ to Sean unless he's coming up clutch while playing with a failing kidney.
Done.
I also spent some time this afternoon updating the Quotes page with some recent additions, and some old favorites. Including SiMA’s classic smackdown on CMoney, otherwise known as the email posting thread — it’s complete with an introductory note from the editor.
The intanglibles are with us tonite…its just those dang tangibles lke making shots and playing defense - bones
Salmons pulled from lineup: destination unknown…
Any chance is coming our way?
Going for the first even year championship!
Pop said “I don’t think anything will happen for us” during warmups tonight. So, I expect a trade.
Don't compare RJ to Sean unless he's coming up clutch while playing with a failing kidney.
haha, new sarcamsmeter?
"He was just a young skinny guy who looked like a winner. We didn’t know he was going to be as good as he is."
—Popovich on Manu Ginobli
Also, RJ and Dice aren’t starting tonight. Pop’s CIA BS won’t fly with me.
Don't compare RJ to Sean unless he's coming up clutch while playing with a failing kidney.
hmmmmm….. is Hairston active?
"He was just a young skinny guy who looked like a winner. We didn’t know he was going to be as good as he is."

Bogans and Bonner are your replacement starters.
Don't compare RJ to Sean unless he's coming up clutch while playing with a failing kidney.
Damn trade machine is not working
I think the only way to get out of Rj’s contract is to get involved in the Miami-Phoenix talks, and try to get J.Oneal
Spurs gets:
J.Oneal
D.Wright
Miami gets:
Amare
RJ
Suns get:
Mason
Dice or Bonner
Pick or something
Wade would get help in Miami, Phoenix would get cap relief and the Spurs woull get Cap relief and a big man. Only question is if the Heat would take RJ’s contract
