Ask and you shall receive

[R Howe]

Great line Joz, my feeling exactly. Not as good as
Miami, Clev, Det? in this NBA age of 2 or less
legitimit allstars plus breathing bodies puts you in

actually make the playoffs"?  Make him a beat writer
for Assumption College... NO that is an insult to the
fine Assumption Greyhounds program.
