Thanks for the honesty.MorbidHEAT wrote:My dislike for Lin started during Linsanity. It was absurd. It's probably irrational dislike at this point, but man he gets on my nerves. He's been tearing us up though.

You are correct BTG, and I do take his slump personally. So much so that I drained the rest of my only remaining bottle of Dalwhinnie 15.
My wife asked if I really had to get sot drunk over the outcome of a basketball game, so I said, "Dammit Woman, one must raise the level of one's fanaticism commensurate with the heightened expectations that come with a winning team!"
now you must excuse me, I'm off to the packy store to buy another . . . (Sante mate )

CHARLOTTE — Marvin Williams might be the answer to one of the most misremembered Charlotte NBA draft trade rumors in history.
Williams had just been a part of North Carolina's 2005 NCAA championship team and was coveted by then-Hornets general manager and coach Bernie Bickerstaff.
Bickerstaff wanted to package his team's two lottery picks — numbers five and 13 overall — to another team to move up in the draft.
Rumor has it that Charlotte was pursuing Wake Forest point guard Chris Paul, who's gone on to become a nine-time NBA All-Star.
But Bickerstaff wanted Williams, whom he thought would give the second-year expansion team a jolt to a roster that at the time was anchored by 2004 No. 2 overall pick Emeka Okafor and 2004 expansion selection Gerald Wallace.
Instead, Atlanta turned down Charlotte's offer and the Hornets (then named Bobcats) would choose a pair of Williams' UNC teammates in Raymond Felton (at No. 5) and Sean May (at No. 13).
