Just keeping the faith. I'm happy with Amar'e and having a watchable team. <br /><br />I guess it feels like that Eddie Murphy bit. he talks about if you haven't had crackers in a while, and someone gives you a ritz, you're gonna -- <i>*feverishly eats ritz cracker, wide maniacal eyes, obsessively picking at the crumbs in his teeth*</i> -- be all enthused about a "Regular ol' ritz cracker" ...<br /><br />I'm good on some eatable crackers. a foundation, something to build on. i was 'cosmically sobbing' on freedarko about the <a href="http://freedarko.blogspot.com/2007/01/myth-of-thomasyphus.html" rel="nofollow">Thomas era</a> a few years ago --<br />(for those just passing by, I'm a big fan!) -- ...so I'm just happy to be in some clear air space. able to see light. etc.T.A.N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03386902584581113328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16210951.post-60040658340187096002010-07-08T14:28:12.325-04:002010-07-08T14:28:12.325-04:00back one last time:

Wasn't Kobe imploding before that happened? in the same position Lebron's in since the post-shaq era. Now he's the contemporary gold standard...<br /><br />your analysis is about right though. but it's about skill sets, not just players. lebron and rose are somewhat redundant in terms of how they play. as are boozer and noah. and still no shooter, and they're locked in as well. <br /><br />the knicks have a question mark that can be converted into a stud next year should lebron join. carmelo's been mentioned. ...in this case i think a ? is as good or better than what the bulls got.T.A.N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03386902584581113328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16210951.post-7997021472237782292010-07-07T19:12:30.216-04:002010-07-07T19:12:30.216-04:00Lebron

STAT's the most talented teammate he's had, plus a young shooter in galinari, plus flexibility to shape the roster. bulls don't have a shooter, miami won't give him the same credibility, cavs have no flexibility.T.A.N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03386902584581113328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16210951.post-22990652069571992952010-07-07T18:18:31.009-04:002010-07-07T18:18:31.009-04:00I want him to change squads...w/ Boozer to Chicago...I want him to change squads...w/ Boozer to Chicago- I think he needs to make that move-best opp to win now.StaceyGoodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14223764440735248128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16210951.post-42579266522109351572010-07-07T18:05:44.654-04:002010-07-07T18:05:44.654-04:00That's true.

And at 25 it might be easier to attribute that to growing pains. <br /><br />I'm also encouraged by the <a href="http://www.cleveland.com/cavs/index.ssf/2010/07/espn_reports_lebron_james_will.html" rel="nofollow">dour tone</a> of the cavs beat writer. he (lebron) just got on twitter, relaunched his website. feels like someone packing his bags and getting his business in order, not settling in for another home-cooked meal.T.A.N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03386902584581113328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16210951.post-42023721004401219452010-07-07T17:51:34.197-04:002010-07-07T17:51:34.197-04:00On the flip side, how can LeBron leave his hometow...On the flip side, how can LeBron leave his hometown crushed via national television?
