    Good ole Kwame!

    You should enjoy yourself when the Rockets take the champs to 7, because that is tangible. I know I did, when Shane was rapepounding The Mamba.

    Time to replace him period.

    Cannot win with these stats. I dont care who says what about Martin in this game who kept us in it by himself practically. This is the reason you lost

    Shane Battier line for tonight
    24min 0 - 2 0 - 2 0 - 0 0 3 3 2 0 2 0 1 0pts

    Too many zeros.

    We need to dump Shane...isn't he brought in to complement Yao? Now Yao's end is just a tick away, he's useless...Locker room presence? just make him a playing assistant coach and rest him on the bench.

    I think everyone should be patient until the trade deadline. Battier's expiring contract is worth ALOT. now THAT'S an intangible ;)

    Let Shane play out this year, his contract expire, and allow him to retire in peace!

    Your opinion is irrelevant. You are one of those people who dumb down the GARM.

    I challenge anyone to find a starting wing player in the NBA that has worse ball handling skills than Battier.

    Irrelevant because you cant answer it. Making your opinion irrelevant. You dont have the mental capacity to find the better argument against it so people in the clutchfans tend to attack when they have no other argument. Attacking me wont make what I say irrelevent especially if people are starting to warm to most of the things i say and start to echo them now.

    As usual, you're wrong:

    What will you do if I find them?

    Will you swear not to post for the next 6 months and never post anything negative about Shane ever?

    It's okay, I know taking two dribbles with your left hand and driving to the basket is a foreign concept to guys who defend the worst starting ball handling wing in the NBA. Also, I don't ride the short bus to elementary school because if I did, I would know you quite well.
