Re: "(Now tell me)Who do you love?"

I love Waltah. You gotta have a guy like him on a team. He gives the team an
adrenaline rush when much needed. Guys like Waltah, Strickland and Williams
work hard out there game after game. Towards the end of a tuff season like
this with Walker and Pierce tired, these guys buy a team time. Special
mention for Rogers who has skills we desperately need.
