People really seemed to jump on the "Teams Sucks" bandwagon after the 
Philly game -- why is the opposite so bad?  Couldn't it _be_ a 
turning point?  (My opinion is that it isn't, however -- I expected 
to see games like that the way I expected to see games like the 
Philly one.  More of the same, with some slight improvement.)

>Does Stith look like a keeper? I like his game so far.

Meant to say this about a week ago, but props to Forant for 
predicting a breakout game by a non-"Big Two" C's player -- which 
happened to be Stith's 29 pts., 6 rebs, 4 ass't, 2 stl, game.  Good 
call.  Suprising, you might say, but still gotta give you credit for 
that one.

I like that Pitino has "rewarded" Stith with the starting job, but I 
wonder if he might not be a good sixth man, playing more minutes than 
one of the starters.  Maybe not, though.  Stith really rolled back 
the calender with that game, and if he stays healthy, he could do it 
again.
