Alright ... now we are headed back to the Championship game

I'm starting to get the hang of this forum. Every game counts for like 10. And every good performance counts for like 'All Star' contributions.

So, what I've learned here ...

... trade Francis ... he only had 5 assists and probably cost the team 16 - 20 points by being stingy with the ball

... start Hawkins ... he was Mario Elie like making a three pointer from the corner

... trade Griffin ... he can't shoot, can't bust a move, can't do anything other than block shots

... suit Ming up in the Clutch outfit ... he's Chinese so he understands the team concept and really leads cheers well

... fire Rudy ... nobody likes him ... he drinks too much ... his voice is raspy ... the team won two championship trophies despite him ... and there will never be motion in the offense as long as he is the coach

... play more of Bochi ... that 1/3, 1 rebound performance sure did deserve extra playing time

... and enshrine the new Kelvin Cato in the Hall of Fame ... he actually looks like he cares about the game and he can say 'suckah' and 'spinerooni' with the best of em ...

Not picking on anyone here ... just reminding one and all that we played two bad games ... with 80 more to go ... the flow will certainly shift again ... like after tonight.

Here's my opinion. The nucleus for success is now in place. The variable is time ... and I think the time is the second half of this season ... hope that will not be too late.
