    No man, I meant insane in a good way!

    And I agree with you on Casspi. The only real worry I had about this off-season was replacing Delfino (1. Was never worried about the PG position AT ALL 2. We got nothing from the PF last year and did fine/D-mo and Jones will get better/we can always use Parsons or go Twin Towers - not worried about the PF either).

    I originally thought Garcia was going to slot into the Delfino role, a tragically underrated contribution to our success last year, but looks like Casspi may be making a case for himself. This might be another one of those good problems! I'm sure Casspi will come down to Earth eventually, but if he can challenge Garcia for the Delfino role, then more power to him and better for the team. Plus I like his attitude, think it adds something to the team dynamic.


    In any case a bench featuring Bev\Lin, Garcia and\or Casspi and Asik is just INSANE. It's gonna be a good year man!

    Hinkie would love to trade Royce White back to us for Casspi.

    He's been playing pretty much entirely the 4 spot, and he's been looking...mehh... on defense.... He's trying for what its worth. Rebounding has looked halfway decent though.

    I think playing him either alongside Howard or Asik, he could be hidden at the PF spot in a stretch role, but playing alongside Jones & Motiejunas off the bench you've noticed a big drop when Howard goes on the bench and Casspi is played alongside one or the other. However the offense.... wow.... its good.

    Final cuts were today and looks like Casspi made it.

    You owe the tipjar $10, bongman.

    This has to be the only bet I lost that I am so happy to pay for. So just send it to the tipjar?

    Yup, right here:

    http://www.clutchfans.net/tipjar.cfm

    Glad you replied, good man. The last time I made a tipjar bet, the guy didn't pay for 3 months. It was for $200 though.

    Hopefully Clutch sees this and make you a contributing member. Repped.

    So bongman is sending in 3 times the amount of the actual tipjar bet, which is very gracious of him.

    Hoping Clutch sees this. Rep this man, people.

    Anyone who thinks he should be cut should also be cut..in the throat i mean..He's been excellent through out the whole preseason..I think he'll be a big part of our bench this season

    Zalgiris just felt that Omri can take DMo PT. Well, it seems he was right.
