I'd like to ask how many readers on this list have played any organized
sport?  Of those who have, explain how it feels to have the showboater rile
up an entire team with silly gyrations and actions, which serve no useful
purpose.  Combine that with an unabashed determination to get points
regardless of the strategy employed by the other team and we've got a
difficult situation brewing.

Nobody said that Toine was singlehandedly responsible for allowing the
Blazers to come into our building, score 43 pts in the last qtr and cause us
to have heart palpitations in the end due to shoddy FT shooting.  But really
now, I'm predicting Rodmanesque problems developing for him if that's what
he thinks is important.  I was always as hyper as the next guy, but as a
professional who seems to be searching for respect, he'd catch more bees
with honey.  And right now, he just ain't too sweet.
