RE: woohoo!! we won!!!!!!!

He & Tommy do seem to ride Chauncy at times but they also praise him on 
good plays, so I don't know if I notice any real hypocrisy, although they 
probably ride him more than praise which is probably the usual for a rookie 
on a team under .500.
But would Magic Johnson, Isaiah Thomas, John Stockton ,or any other great 
point do any differently ?  I would prefer this than blowing sunshine up my 
rear trying to convince me everything is wonderful.
