Spoon trumps Eddie for being the longer-term fan!
(NOTE: I rode 80 miles through the snow storm in a Jeep Wrangler to get to Assembly Hall for the Eddie Johnson game. Unfortunately, Kelvin Ransey and Herb Williams then ruined our chance two days later to be ranked #1 in the next release of the AP/UPI polls.)
We are so back baby

Single digit number next to our name in October is a lock now, I'd say
Andrej might be the one to play his way into the first round next year. If he attacks the basket next year like he did in the tourney this year, he’s really really dangerous.
So glad to get Andrej back. Had great chemistry on team this past year, but wonder how adding Blackwell will affect that? His decision seems to be strictly $$$ driven and that can destroy a team's chemistry. Hope it works out for the best.

I don't "know" but my kids had no other choice but to become fans ---- and I simply attended all the games for 4-1/2 years. The children of Varsity athletes (starters, for that matter) have to be living it 100 times over!!
and March!
