Yo9u never know whether to root for them to win or to lose. I'm sure Laser will be happy to point out the downsides of this win. And with the next loos we can get back to the harping on the incompetence of Dumars (which I actually partly agree with). Being a fan of a bad team is a weird thing.

It was only a matter of time before they both clicked.Now we've got our future 3 and 4 in Jerebko and Monroe. We got our future 1 in Brandon Knight. We've got 3 2s to choose from in Gordon, Stuckey, and Daye.  Now all we need to do is fil l that huge gaping hole in the middle with Andre Drummond OR Anthony Davis OR Meyers Leonard OR Cody Zeller OR Steven Adams... and we'll be ready to contend for the next round of championships by 2015 Thats really good news.

I'm just about ready to give up on the Autin Daye experiment.  Hopefully, next year, Singler's presence on the team will make Daye renundant as our 3rd or 4th string SF, and we can let Daye walk.

Instantly i thought Big Ben and Rasheed would of come close but Ben would of come up short in the points.

And I definitely agree -- anything he can do to show the rest of the league he's capable of bouncing back from his two year hiatus is a huge plus.</p> Maybe not worth the money, but a hell of a lot more fun to watch.
