    Dont know if it has been posted but it was obvious when Moochie played last night and VB sat on the bench in street clothing.

    I wish we could have seen what game he has left. The PF spot isnt looking pretty. I'd say there was a better chance at VB contributing than Moochie...

    On side not I don't understand why this board dogs Vin Baker so much. I mean its not like he let down our team. (Seattle) To me me he's a good guy to have at the very end of the bench.

    Is Torray Braggs eligible to play in the playoffs?
    Anyone know?

    I bet this helps encourage him to work out a buy-out with the Rockets this summer.

    why would he? a buy out would earn him less $$ than his current contract. it's not like he will sign with another team to make up for the missing $$. once this contract is up the nba is done with him.

    Pretty sure he is eligible, I think a player is only disqualified from being in the playoffs is if he was on an active NBA roster after the trade deadline. Also, why would they put VB on the phantom IL and not be able to submit Braggs name on the playoff roster, that would leave the Rox with only Padg and Spoon at the PF for the playoffs.

    If this was true, he will be on the playoff roster instead of Moochie. I trust the coaching staff knows what they are doing.
