1.  What does bolind mean?
2.  How are Nowitzki, McGrady and Miller more successful than Walker?
3.  Great answer to my question.  "Bring in anyone who..."  Such as?

I believe Walker has talent and am hoping we will see evidence of it this
year.  Sure he has weaknesses but didn't Malone shoot about 50% from the
free throw line in the playoffs a couple years ago?  Walker probably is near
the league lead for assists from the forward position.

He is not perfect but he is what we have at the present, so why crucify the
guy?  He has had some outstanding games, plays injured and is still young.
Let's see what this season brings before we cast him adrift only to regret
it when his maturity mentally and physically kicks in.

Nowitzki.  Now that's a headscratcher!!
