Hey silk, If I don't have anyone coming with me you're welcome to ride. Tires get the back seat though, so only one passenger for me.

Rumour has it that Ford was causing problems in the locker room. He resented Redd being the star of the show.
I think I'm one of the few people that didn't think ford was that good. He defended worse than anyone else on the team unless he was playing iverson. Once teams figured out that he was a one trick pony about 20 games into the season they just jammed the lane and let him dribble himself into trouble. He shot too much, when he is bad at it. If I had the choice of letting Mo or TJ go I would have picked TJ to go.
Mo also shoots first too often, he makes one good shot and thinks he's on fire, it takes him 3-4 bad shots to realise he's not. But he is quick, not TJ quick but still pretty quick and he has a shot that defenders have to respect.
The problem was that by moving Bogut to the 5 we only had one guy that could play the 4 (Joe), and he is prone to injury like you said and can't give 30 minutes for 82 games. Add in how well Bogut and CV linked up in the rookie allstar game and I think they are going to be a good combo.
Hopefully Bogut has worked on his 10-15ft shot and our starting line up is 5 guys that you have to respect for the shot, 4 of them you have to guard the shot from 3pt range (CV can kinda shoot the 3). Then you have Mo, Simmons and Bogut who are all good distributors and Mo, Simmons and Redd can all drive.
I think that's a pretty exciting starting unit.

I didn't until i moved here. My old boss has season tickets so I got to go to games all the time and kinda got into it. I had my own playoff tickets last year (a whole 2 games), and have been playing with the idea of getting my own full season tickets.... Maybe next year.

I suppose there is one other reason... the big difference between where I come from and where I am, is in the ricer world, people need big wings and flamboyant body kits to get noticed. Very rarely do people notice the suttle changes. Now, that's not a bad thing, (I'm all for people doing whatever they want to their car) it's just not what I'm shooting for. A great example of this is the shaved body lines and side markers. I anticipate that most people will look at it and say... "that looks different, but I can't figure out why." Where as if I had a huge vinyl sticker, they'd notice it right away. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that I think I will need to keep the wing in order to meet the flare requirement count.
(Oh, and just so no one gets offended, I'm not implying anything about anyones personal tastes or style. I'm very pro "do what you like, it's your car.")
