    I wonder if the Mavs had traded for Andre Miller instead of Rondo if they'd be a better team.
    Personally? I believe they would have been. Neither is a great shooter..
    But Rondo wants to prove he wasn't just a product of playing with 3 all time great players... So he wants to do things and win his way.
    Miller has always wanted to win.

    Rondo is a psycho.

    Remember how everyone was all, "we were one lotto digit away from getting the #1 pick two years in a row"?

    I wonder how much of this form would have survived if we had drafted Roy, Oden, and Rose in consecutive years...

    I remember Roy had a hell of a start the first couple months of 10-11 season then had surgery for the umpteenth time and fell off the face of the earth. Besides a few games here and there and of course game 4.

    I still don't get it. So it's anxiety?

    Dude. Anxiety can manifest in many different ways and exhibit different forms. It fucking sucks, let me tell you.

    I cant imagine even living a life like that, constant travel, commitments, stress, pressure... and have anxiety. That's brutal. Your body just eventually goes crazy and it can take a long time to get back to 'normal'.

    I suppose Sanders could always come back if he wanted to. He's young and healthy physically.

    Bro, I used to have such anxiety attacks that I thought I was having a heart attack. The overwhelming feeling that comes can completely ruin your life. I had to learn techniques on how to calm myself down.

    I hope Sanders overcomes it. Poor kid

    I hear ya. Panic Attacks/Anxiety attacks are the absolute worst. ANd to get them in public... oh god. It completely changes how you live right after you first get it. I got the panic attacks for years, but the anxiety attacks was a new one.

    I'm just now getting over one that happened 2 months ago. It's crazy. Glad we got the coping skills. :cheers:

    KG in Minny looks so natural. Sucks for him that WAS is missing his good friend Paul Pierce.

    He can teach our bigs a thing or two about setting (illegal) picks.
