Hopla's helping [who let him get away and why?], but these appreciation threads are getting out of control. And why don't I have one yet? [Chorus answers: Supply and demand!]

Don't worry, the next loss or losing streak will bring back the "Amazingly Sucky" threads. Though there really haven't been alot of those yet this season.

If Etan comes back hitting 75% from the line, we'll have to build a Hopla shrine. Where there's hope, there's Hopla.

Before I make a joke a his expense, I just want to say THANK YOU to Hopla for making Haywood and Stevenson players you can no longer hack at will.

Now, judging from that picture, I think I know the "secret" behind Hoplas' success...

Keep drinking Brendan!

If the Wizards maintain the FT shooting improvements throughout the season, the Wizards ought to give Hopla a bonus if it's not already in his contract.

He and Ayers have done wonders for this team.

This is one of the most deserving appreciation threads I've seen in a while. Thank you Hopla![/quote]

Only one of these things is true:

1. Dave Hopla was the first man to scale Mt. Everest
2. Dave Hopla helped Brendan Todd Haywood become a competent FT shooter.
3. Dave Hopla invented the Polio vaccine.

But all of them are monumental achievements.
