So, like I said, Curry can go for 25 and they will still lose. Great game though. 1 out of 4 ain't bad, I guess. Met the parents down on the strip for dinner last night. I hate going down there. It's all so inflated, prices, attitudes, everything. I watched a good documentary on Shirley Chisholm. She made a run for president in 1972. I was only a kid at the time, and have faint memories "of a black woman running for president." Pretty good documentary, as it detailed her campaign run, and all the obstacles, both obvious and not, that she faced. It was on PBS...if you see it on your guide, tune in. America wasn't ready for her.

So Jermaine O'Neal is supposed to play tonight. All that does is mess up my minutes for T.Murphy. Granger really doesn't play well with JO either, so my fingers are crossed for my Pacer tag-team this week. Snagged Marvin Williams off the wire, as I am trying shore up the FG%. You Bogut owners are sweating. He's day to day, but the ever present "shut it down" is a possibility. Still no Agent Zero...maybe this week. He once said that Chris Mullin, I believe, told him, that you don't come back on the road, you come back at home. The debate has begun: Is CWebb a Hall of Famer? I don't think so. You kind of have to step out of moment. There are tons of CWebbs not in the hall. If he is, then so is Larry Nance. So is Rex Chapman. Going with my instincts, CWebb did nothing at Golden State, did nothing at Washington, had three or four (or five) good years with the Queens, did nothing in Philly, and did nothing again in Golden State. Again, if he is a hall of famer, then so is Craig Ehlo. Take a guy who is been in the league just as long, Michael Finley...is he a hall of famer?

have to agree, it doesn't make any sense to bring O'neal back. No, I don't think Webber is a hall of famer. you forgot that he did nothing in Detroit as well. we must give him all of his credit. Also, nice history lesson on Chisolm and no, Americas wasn't ready. good read.

Far be it from us to not give a man all of his earned credit. I do believe he played great, but he wasn't a great player, if you can understand that one. Got tha analogy from Apollo Creed, Rocky III, you know when Mr. T whipped his #### all over the ring.

You are spot on. Playing great for a minute shouldn't be confused with being a great player. Allan Houston played great at times, but he wasn't a great player. I guess I have to go back...I loved CWebb and the fab five...when I started to see that CWebb was a big crybaby, I started to lose respect for him. Even though I am a Laker fan, I still maintain that they could have beaten them at least once if he didn't cry and moan his way through the playoffs.
