Me too, but just a word of caution for all who have annointed Kenny as the
saviour.  One game does not a season make.  I was very impressed with what I
saw and I hope it continues, but I was also impressed earlier this season,
as were you all, when we defeated Chicago and Los Angeles.  We did that
without Kenny folks, and some of us made comments like maybe Billups isn't
so bad after all etc.

Just realize that there is some talent on this team which hopefully will
benefit from Anderson's presence, but be careful with the grandiose
assessments after only 48 minutes of basketball.  It was done before a bit
prematurely.
