IMO, the Rox leadership has done everything possible to "help themselves." We picked up a serious scoring threat, a real PF, a better than average backup center, and the only place that is even questionable is PG, where we have several serviceable guards who know how to share the basketball with superstars and fill their roles. My only beef this offseason is that we were not able to land Barry, and that was Barry's choice, not CD or JVGs. What could we have done realistically to improve more than we have? We have done everything possible to help ourselves and I was just asking the lord for his part of that saying.
Do you guys really believe that God, assuming you believe in God, would favor one set of fans over another? One team over another? That's the wrong use of prayer, imo.
1. a healthy Yao and McGrady 2. a flying elbow from Yao into the nose of one Karla Malone. 3. for the refs to officiate Yao fairly 4. for Boki to gain confidence in the 3 ball 5. the victorious return of Calvin Murphy to the broadcast booth. 6. the disappearance of C. Coop from Rockets broadcasts 7. that Sura shoots well and becomes the starting PG, with Lue his primary backup, relegating Ward to10 minutes or less per game. 8. that Yao learns the finger wag from Deke and displays it after every blocked shot. 9. a good old fashioned donneybrook with the Orlando Magic with at least 6 technical fouls called, Franchise scoring 40 and Mobley getting 30, TMAC gets 50 and Yao goes for 30 points, 20 boards, and 8 blocks. The game is won on a buzzer beater 3 pointer by Ty Lue off the kickout from Yao after Yao is triple teamed by Franchise and Cat. 10. A trip to the finals to play the Heat.
