Like Gary Gerould and Cunningham said on twitter today, he's the definition of a pro's pro.

In what alternate universe is Rudy Gay ever more energetic than Omri Casspi?

He essentially said after the game that Omri looked tired and slow, because he had played a lot of minutes earlier in the game.

Common sense tells you that's what's going to happen.

From the pregame show: Casspi said ‘Look, I sent a text out to these guys the other night, I said this is probably the last go for this team. If we don’t get our butts in gear and start playing better, and start focusing, and start winning games, then this team is going to break up, and we like...

Some great quotes from Casspi post-game (and pregame).

FYI for the people wondering about Casspi's wisdom teeth situation, he was on the radio this morning (interview from Saturday) and said that he woke up one morning while on vacation and couldn't open his mouth - cut his vacation short to fly back to Sac and had emergency/last-minute surgery the...

With wisdom teeth it's not uncommon to be perfectly fine one day and then dying (obviously not literally) the next, especially at that age. You're supposed to get them out in your late teens/early 20s before they start causing problems, like rupturing suddenly.

I was going to be shocked if Casspi played. Even just jumping and running after getting your wisdom teeth out would be excruciating. You don't mess with wisdom teeth.

Maybe we can trade Ben and get him back in a couple of years when he's better, a la Omri.

We can't trade the only guy who actually wants to be here - esp. since he took a pay cut to come back last summer. But considering every time I think this team can't get anymore dysfunctional, they do......who knows?

He also linked to this interview on his Facebook page today, where he says it would be amazing to be selected as a participant in the contest - the icing on the cake after his hard work. (awesome interview, btw, with the help of Google translate)

Omri definitely wanted to be in the contest, he was asked a couple times in pre/postgame over the last week or two and said he really wanted to go, that it would be a great opportunity, but that he was waiting to be called. This was his reaction on Twitter just after the participants were...

It never has been. It's all about him and his book.

This was the first game I didn't watch all the way through in quite a while. Turned it off a few minutes before halftime. Pathetic.
