You gotta let this stuff go Dan....JB still has a case of the
doubting-Thomas syndrome....but he TOO will make remarkable turnaround
soon.....but just remember that we are not gonna win every single game.
There are some decent teams out there as well, and sometimes, we just don't
deserve to beat them.

But I think a team that has gone in and won in Philly and LA can at least
pay well on any court in the league.  It's the consistency which JB is
seeking.  Patience my man!!
