    I was quite feared when seeing the thread because I thought Rafer was caught by the POLICE again. :D And if that was true, that would be the seacond time for him to be arrested. Then I was afraid that he would be sentensed to several months or even years in jail ,and he would be gonna miss some games in the upcoming season. In other words, Rafer is too important for our team to be absent for even one game.However, It seems impossible for him to play the whole fourty-eight minutes of all the eight-two games in the season. But when he was off the court, our team was gonna be involved in troubles. Besides Rafer, we haven't got another good PG who is smart enough to prevent our team from being caught up and beaten. SF3 may play some minutes but no one can guarantee his health. Even if SF3 will stay healthy thoughout the whole season,it would still be a big question whether he will be back to his prime. Our PG problem will always be a trouble issue unless tamc improves his dribbling skills and play the 1. If tmac can play as Magic, then ronron will appear in our line-up squad and as well as shane.
    Then our line-up squad will be fantastic.Yao/Scola/Battier/Artest/tmac .Then no team will dare to post up anyone of our lineup five,because the other four will be gonna let them pay if they do so. And our line-up PG will not be eaten up by Paul or Deron. Further, I think Tmac has a remarkable gift for playing PG,he was birth to become a great PG like Magic. Somehow, Tmac chose 2/3 to play. But I still think it's not too late for tmac to correct his position.

    Tmac means " Temporary Magic"

    The thread title sounded like they interviewed HPD on how they caught Rafer speeding...

    yes,I agree with u,but most important,we should find a substitution for Rafer who should be experienced ,and Brooks is too young!

    "RA: I’m excited. I think my job is simple: it’s to get these guys the ball often. Understand who has it going to times out there. It’s a lot of weapons."


    I hope he does what he says, limit his attempts and pass more.

    Here's Henry Abbott (Truehoop)'s take on the whole ordeal:

    Looks like some over analysis to me... I think Adelman can keep this team in check.

    i never asked :(, but yea i suppose the celebs would go early to avoid the cool kids. For example, I use to always see Bun B at the amc near the fountains before matinee was over (which is before 4pm).
