    When I think of Battier I think of pure professionalism, and that really shows in the way he's come back from injury. It's obvious that he worked his butt off rehabbing. The guy deserves some accolades.

    with the way the whole team is playing i guess the only logical cut for a roster spot would be Steve Francis

    He made a huge difference tonight. I was one of the people arguing that he'd make a really big difference once he returned. It's cliche' to say, but so many of his contributions don't appear in a box score stat. The Rox just look so much more fluid and smart when he's out there.

    I was impressed with the way he sort of calms everything down when he's out there. His repost passes are always right on time and that's because he has such great chemistry with Yao. I'm always glad to have Battier on the floor.

    His 3 points shooting 4/4, helped us a lot when our score is less than Warriors. And also looks wonderful that's most important. Great Shane

    Cutting Steve does not give us any more cap space. Nor does cutting Tracy. We are going to have to trade Luther Head, and that's about it.

    i think he is still bit slow to what he use to be, but i think this is because he just came back, hope he can get his speed back. Overall still a solid performance.

    Batman is obviously ballin'. Too bad he needs to play limited minutes, but still you gotta love his 3 point shooting and defense.

    Yes. And he runs the offense to a T also..He knows his bread is buttered by Yao.

    I admit I'm not a big fan of his but he deserves a lot of credit.His shooting has been solid since his return something with which he used to struggle with in the past.His defense and professionalism is reliable as usual.
    It isn't easy to bounce back after an injury. Let's hope he can keep it up.

    I just feel more confident having Shane on the floor. Such an awesome professional. We're extremely lucky to have him.

    I blame it on the Sportcenter generation. They only see the dunks and not the smart and intelligent things that help you win games.
