    Gotta respect him especially for choosing us over the OKC Plunder.

    Pretty much.

    He's basically James Jones.

    Wright will never win us Chalupas. He will never be as dear to us as Babbitt.

    James Jones was a great clutch, ISO, guarded, must-make shooter. Wright's good shooting depends upon the flow of passing and finding himself open.

    If Jones weren't constantly injured his common name would be very big.

    Yes, but does he have Babbitt's electric personality?

    Has Wright ever gotten a sixth man vote in his career though? Yeah, I didn't think so.

    Jeopardy answer: Whores, Mafia, nuclear bombs, tourists losing all their money, and Babbitt.

    What is the question?

    He's smooth and Mo Wiliams is a lot better than I ever thought he was.

    I like that Dorrell loves to win road games, gets him fired up. If Dorrell is Babbit, TRob is Hickson and Lopez is the new Joel Pryzbilla plus can get a few buckets. Mo is Eric Maynor and Crabbe is Noel Smith...see an upgrade anywhere? I sure do!

    Welcome, Riverman!

    There, I beat Strenuus. He thinks he's the Wal-Mart greeter.

    Are you a chick, Riverman? Just from your name..

    Been so pleased with Wright, Lopez, Williams and Robinson. Our pickups have been awesome.

    The pickups were thought out just right and the pieces fit correctly. Let's see if this keeps up but the chemistry of this team is amazing

    You don't see Pritchard defenders anymore. Egg on the face for his sponsor, the local media.

    And how would McMillan be playing this roster? We had a bad GM-Coach combo.

    It's early but I have been super impressed with Stotts. Great game manager, very poised and composed and is a great x's and o's guy. Will see if his defensive ideas translate
