    This reminds me of that movie where the man that got all this money, and forgets where he came from. Just remember, us fans really had it bad for a long long while. Be thankful we have who we have. Make this shit work and stop stressing out Roy. Just tell Nate to give you the keys and you will make sure everyone gets theirs.

    Oh no believe me. All I have to do to think about how good I have it now is remember having Jack, Juan on Five Dixon, and Viktor Kryapa in the starting lineup to remember how bad it was.

    Speaking of the JailBlazers, did you see that Ruben Patterson was arrested in Ohio? Some guys never change....

    Yeah the sad thing was so many of those players were such a talent. They just didn't have a good head on their shoulders.

    Well, considering most of the "fan base" stopped following the team back then, maybe they need to "live" it.

    I lived it, and in a city that kept reminding me of it as well. All my Laker fan buddies would rub it in each and every day. It was trying times for me in the Los Angeles area. I had a big BULLSEYE on my back.

    Regardless, I stuck with my team. Cough, cough... Unfortunately, I am a Raiders fan, so I had a double whammy at the same time. Watching my teams was like watching a sibling going through radiation therapy. :o
