    It's uncommon. It's HAPPENED to every team, but I would venture to say that when it does happen to those teams - they are sucking that year.

    Sucks you can't remember the team - they are probably a bad team too.

    I think you're sensationalizing a long rebound a bit Stren....that's the way the ball bounces sometimes...sort of like balls that get stuck on a rim...has nothing to do with a team sucking although that may be the case

    Harkless is out with a cut cheek. Why can't he play with a cut cheek? I don't understand how that keeps someone out.

    Angst? lol.

    The team has been bad for well over a month- I just keep seeing evidence that supports it.

    I love you, though, Riverman. :cheers:

    Aminu shouldn't have taken that last shot because he's hurting his clutch stats.
