Battier compares benching to 'turd sandwich'
Shane Battier compared his Game 7 benching to eating a "turd sandwich."
"Sometimes you've got to eat a turd sandwich. Makes the ribeye taste better next time," said Battier, who found himself with a DNP-CD in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals. Fortunately for the veteran swingman, he should get more playing time against the Spurs because of the different matchups. The Spurs don't have nearly the size that the Pacers do, which should mean more Battier and less Chris Andersen in the Finals.
