Well, we have to do something about this thing taking forever. Until Dr. Seuss comes back, lets just make sure to send in lists if we're not going to be on and our pick is within 10 picks or so.

Yeah but Roundfield was a better player than Kirilenko. He was a better scorer, much better rebounder, and just about as good defensively.

And I end up with Maurice Lucas, another guy who I picked up for my bench last year. Trying to put some really physical players in the frontcourt around Bird and Yao. The idea is, you might beat this team, but you'll feel it afterwards  .

I LOVE VLADE! I remember reading about how the coaches would get on Vlade's case to quit smoking, but he wouldn't. That's just the European in him I guess! He smoked something like a pack and a half a day throughout his career! He is the man!

My favorite Vlade story (though he was never named, there weren't that many Eurocenters in the league at the time) was that a big man in the league wrote a letter to tje league office asking that Europeans be required to shower and use deoderant. It seems that he felt it was an unfair weapon to not do so then put your arms up in the post and body up people. ;-}

I also remember watching a game that Bill Walton was commentating on and he was talking about his first NBA game and it shocked him as to how many players would light up a cigarette at half-time. He made it seem like everyone smoked on the team!

Alright, I'm back. Thanks Sharpie and Dissonance for keepin things goin.
I want to get the 8th and 9th round to two hours. And then finally have the 10th be a 1 hour selection process. Get us goin to the playoffs.
So, plan on the 8th and 9th to shift to a 2 hour time limit.

No sweat, I wasn't getting defensive or anything. I just really wanted to get to know my picks better.
