21. When three months of intense study, mock drafts, trade speculation, hope against hope that Atlanta will pick Shelden Williams so a player will drop to you...... ends up being Shane Battier. (I know, I know but Gay is speculation, Battier is real, but I need hopes and dreams to get me excited; reality rarely does. I guess that's why I'm such a draft nerd.)
22. When your best shooter can't get his job back as the color commentator. here's my question to you JVGers... If JVG coached the 94 Rockets, would he have given Sam Cassell as many minutes as Rudy??
24. when this conversation most likely took place. Jeff VanGundy (on Mike James doorstep): We need you. Hell, I need you. I'm a mess without ya. I miss you so damn much. I miss being with you. I miss being near you. I miss your laugh. I miss - I miss your scent. I miss your musk. When this all gets sorted out, I think you and me should get an apartment together. Mike James: Take it easy, Coach. Why don't you stop talking for a while.
Amen. Not to mention checking Rumor Central on ESPN.com and the Chronicle. I think I may be losing sleep over 'Mike Friggin James.'
30. When you see bulletin board threads created by desparate fans encouraging the idea of e-mailing a player to beg for him...
If we end up acquiring a veteran swingman and a young, athletic 4, I would be pretty happy with this offseason.
34. When you log on to Clutch Fans every 2 min. hoping to find big changes in the line up & wishing this offseason was just a VERY BAD deam...
35. Your GM spends the entire off-season burning through the team's remaining salary cap and movable assets to fix last off-season's mistakes.
