*helpless giggles* Hey, it's our last tie with greatness other than Red, and I notice we don't push a lot of products suggesting that he be ripped apart for parts ; Pbut had to smile at Kim's comment: <<Speaking of which (green lights) did anyone else at the Fleece think that continually running Restoration Lumber ads on the new light show boards that had a parquet background and discussed scrap wood was in less than the best of good taste : )>> OK, now we're worried about hurting the feelings of a FLOOR.... ;-)
Bulpett's right too, and clearly a big part of the problem is insufficient aggressiveness. I thought that was slightly better than what I saw in the preseason and that he looked more comfortable, which indicates that the two probably are linked vs the issue being pure laziness. Which might mean it's more a matter of the adjustments taking longer than we'd hoped than the disaster some portray it. I STILL wish they'd give him an ego boosting alley oop or two like the one they fed Battie last night and have been doing through the pre-season. It would also remind his teammates that how he looks is a function of them too. Pep talks are fine, rafter raising assists are better.For what it's worth, I didn't think Baker looked that bad. Tommy was right -- one of those three second calls was made when he wasn't even in the lane.
