    I thought Weatherspoon was "injured," not injured. :confused:

    Even then he is still a better option at the 4 then Mo or Howard.

    I agree Stack -Why doesn't the coach play him more?? Spoon is making less than Howard or Taylor...HMMMM ... get rid of 2 and keep the cheapest one...

    yeah, that's why he can't get his ****** off the bench.

    Spoon wont be a commodity til next year for any team looking for an expiring contract.

    I think it's more the fact that JVG has no choice but to play those fool. I like Clearances hustle more than the other 2 guys we have....

    To be fair, I've always liked his rebounding, and he doesn't seem to be a liability on o even though he doesn't particularly do anything great with the ball in his hands. He would be a good option for backup pf if we had a real starting pf instead of 2 guys trying to be one. But I am hoping his expiring contract can fetch us something of worth after this season. We'll see.

    We need Howard's shot when it's falling.

    Apparently a ball boy of my friends third cousin's second ex-wife's current beau indicated from very, very authetic sounrces that

    Weatherspoon has an ear injury -
    apprently he hyperextended his ear lobes while stretching to hear Jeff Van Bumpy call out his name.

    Take this with a pinch of salt, if you will....

    yeah thats what i thought also. Does it even matter if he is really injured or not...JVG was not really giving him any mins anyways.

    Hey if you have no game, you better be a nice guy. The last thing we need is scrubs being all bad guy and stuff.

    ;)

    PS. What is the name of your bar again?

    He's faking the injury to try to re-do his contract, just like Hakeem did.
