"Our star, who art in Italy
Hallowed be thy game, though no rebounds come"

[CreaM]

Thou shalt not bear true witnesses against thy Franchise player, Andrea Bargnani.

Honor your bald, mild mannered coach and your fat meatball assistant GM, so that your days may be long and sad in the team that the lord your god is giving you.

[Spex]

"Our star, who art in Italy
Hallowed be thy game, though no rebounds come"

Three's will be done, by he who is number seven.

Give us our daily threes, forgive us of our blown coverages, as we have forgiven our coverers

Bryan Colangelo's Creed

I believe in Me, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Andrea Bargnani, my only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of Maurizio Gherardini and born of some Virgin.
He suffered in the post, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the three point line. On the third day he rose again for a rebound.
He ascended into the air and was seated on his ass at the right hand side of the basket.
He will come again to judge those who stole rebounds from him
I believe in the Three Point Shot,
the pump fake and travel, the Caliper Test,
the lack of accountability,
the awesomness of six rebounds,
and the everlasting Draft Lottery.
Amen

And lead us not into [playoff] contention, but deliver us early summers.

And lead us not into [playoff] contention, but deliver us early summers.

For here are the keys to the kingdom, as a power forward and not a glorified centre, for ever and ever, Amen.

I spilled my water all over my laptop reading this.. GREAT JOB!

Page 4 of this thread was epic!

BTW, I just read a quote by Augustine that seems fit for this thread and for all the Bargnani nuthuggers:

"For what is faith unless it is to believe what you do not see?"

[Raptorballz]

Thou shall stay on the treadmill till Raptors become extinct.
