I'll take Ratliff over Davis. Man, I have to get me one of those fancy VHS-tape-to-MPG converter thangs for my laptop. I've got some sweet old footage of Theo's rookie year in Detroit. Welcome home, Theo. Now go get us some blocked shots in your limited minutes. Or, at least, show Amir how to add some shot-blocking experience to his shot-blocking athleticism. Go Amir! Sweet.

A lot of people get that wrong, including me. You can sign a guy on March 20 and he can still be on the playoff roster -- as long as he was waived by his former team on or before March 1. With Dale, obviously, that rule doesn't apply since he hasn't played all season." From McCoskey’s blog:
