With Rafer gone, this team lost it's lone *******. For all of his misgivings, he was really the last guy on this team who's bite was worse than his bark. I'm excluding Artest since he's likely gone next season even though his bite sends entire arenas into a frenzy. With his departure all but official, we've lost more than the drunken surveillance audio footage about jambalaya and how delicious it is with beans, rice, and sausage. We've lost that measure of competitiveness that boils over when a Matt Barnes throws a cheap shot. We've lost that finger in the face of the Sasha Vujacics of the world. We've lost what little soul this team had. We're just vanilla ice cream now. To take the words from one of my friends, "Rafer was an idiot, but he was our idiot."
