don't be so religious, I am christian also, but the simple fact is that Battier sucks.

Shane Battier says he will sign with Miami Heat

MIAMI (AP) Shane Battier said at this point in his career, he only wants "a winning role."

He figures his best chance of that is with the Miami Heat.

Battier said Thursday morning that he would sign with the Eastern Conference champion Heat, the club that let him know as soon as the free-agency shopping window formally opened this week that he was their top signing priority - even though it has some question marks at the point guard and center spots.

It's a Duke reunion of sorts; Heat CEO Nick Arison has a close relationship with Battier from their time together in college. Nick Arison, the son of Heat owner Micky Arison, was the Duke team manager when Battier played for the Blue Devils, including when Mike Krzyzewski's club won the 2001 national title.

Battier wrote on Twitter early Thursday that the lockout gave him a lot of time "to consider what was important to me at this stage of my life and career."

"Over the last week, I've played out every scenario in my head over and over," he wrote. "It always came back to one thing for me: a winning role."

The Heat are not expected to be able to comment on the Battier decision until Friday. No contracts can be formally signed until the new collective bargaining agreement is completed, a process that is now in its final stages. Battier is expected to be at Miami's first training-camp practice, tentatively scheduled for Friday afternoon.

For his career, Battier has averaged 9.6 points and 4.7 rebounds. The 33-year-old is entering his 10th NBA season, having previously played for Memphis and Houston.

With Mike Miller sidelined while recovering from hernia surgery, and James Jones not necessarily assured of returning to Miami, the Heat wanted to add another veteran shooter who can extend defenses - and Battier seemed like the right fit. He's a 38 percent shooter from 3-point range for his career, and he had 27 games with multiple 3-pointers last season.

Battier wrote on Twitter that "after much deliberation, I would like to quote the great poet Jimmy Buffett and take my chances `Trying to Reason with Hurricane Season.'" He soon added: "Down ... In ... Miami."

Battier said in recent days that he was also targeted by Memphis, Houston and Oklahoma City, among other clubs. He's started 81 percent of his 767 NBA regular-season games, though with the wing slots in Miami being filled by Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, he'll almost certainly be moving toward a sixth-man role with the Heat.

Changing of the guardPosted by Marlon Morgan For those who watched the Grizzlies’ improbable, 123-119, win at Orlando Saturday night, it should be blatantly obvious now who the team’s go-to player is. Second-year forward Rudy Gay put an emphatic stamp on this team with his career-high 32-point, seven rebound performance that helped the Grizzlies snap their six-game losing streak. Playing without Pau Gasol, Gay took the game over in the second half when his team needed him the most. He scored
05:44 PM | Comments (10) November 16, 2007 The offense works: A loss, but plenty to build upon Every bit of what worked - with the exception of Luis Scola being close to an infallible shooter - can work again. One game usually proves nothing, and the encouraging performance of the Rockets' offense in the 90-84 loss to the Spurs on Friday normally would not, either. But the Rockets made 50.7 percent of their shots without making many that they cannot hope to make again. Sure, Scola made 10
