Drew Gooden says Anderson Varejao has always been this skilled
On July 23, 2004, the Cleveland Cavaliers acquired Drew Gooden and Anderson Varjeao in a trade with the Orlando Magic for Tony Battie and two second round draft picks.
For the next three seasons, Gooden and Varejao were teammates in Cleveland. Not only did they share time at the power forward position specifically, they also practiced against each other on a daily basis.

Part 1: Game of Benches-Philadelphia 76ers
Let me first start by saying the 76ers have the deepest roster in the league. On any given night we could throw out everyone in uniform.
Whats that? What if we suffer some injures you ask? When this happens, damn it, we’ll send out Aaron McKie to drain a few from behind the arc, Doug Collins to facilitate some ball movement, and Michael Curry because I assume if your a great defensive...
Celtics Look to Finish Off Sixers
The Celtics have a chance tonight to close out the Philadelphia 76ers and get themselves at least a couple days of sorely-needed rest. Recent history though, says that when the Celtics have a chance to close out a series early, especially on the road, they don’t always take advantage of it. In all reality, we really don’t know what Celtics team will show up tonight.
A few noteworthy...

Doug Collins chatted with the media about his team being mentally fragile, how important it is for the Sixers to head to the playoffs with a modest winning streak, Tony Battie being a veteran leader and the impact Dwane Casey has had on Toronto this season.

C Nik Vucevic — C-
Feel a little generous giving Nik a “C” here as he didn’t provide much today. The rookie got the start over Tony Battie at the 5 but just couldn’t get...
Comments from the other side - Sixers 3/7
Well, that wasn't fun. I don't think I've ever seen a team play with less energy than the Celtics did last night. It was funny how the Sixer fans were so down on their team before the game and then were pretty cocky at the end. Hopefully the Celtics will remember this one and it will be fuel to go on a tear. They will see the Sixers two more times and hopefully this...

#Sixers officially announced team has re-signed Tony Battie.
— Philadelphia 76ers (@Sixers) December 12, 2011
Yahoo had an article about Tony Battie and really summed it up best.
Battie appeared in nearly half the games for the 76ers in the 2010-11 season and averaged about 10 minutes. While those aren't spectacular numbers, they are really valuable to a team that is...
