    Okafor isn't exactly an enforcer, but I'd love to have that kid. The kid can block shots and rebound like a monster. On top of that the kid has an insane work ethic and is very smart. Too bad we don't have the lottery pick if we miss the playoffs.
    And of course the kid's from Houston. Damn.

    Watching Oak abuse the rocks last night made me realize how much I miss Barkley.

    I remember when sir Charles used to stand up for the team. When Stevie was a rookie and got into a scuffle, Charles went over there and broke it up grabbing the other guys shirt.

    I will never forget when Charles picked up SHaq and drilled him.

    The problem isn't that we don't have big old guys that could push people around, it's one of 2 things:
    1) We have a little to much class (we're not a bunch of thugs and rappers, ie: AI, Shaq, Anthony Mason, Shawn Kemp)
    2) We are a team full of spot up shooters and panzies, why don't we get MoT or Cato on there butts? Those guys could be hardcore if they wanted to.
