Hi John, Deven,
  Sorry I’ve been out of touch, but while in Mi. my parents internet connection was dial-up; remember clamping the receiver into the suction cups and dialing?  Anyway, I couldn’t listen to the show, so am catching up now.

Sorry to have miss the Haiku contest. I love Haiku. By the way, you forgot one rule; there is suppose to be a seasonal reference, like cherry blossoms, falling snow, autumn leaves, etc. Though the playoffs, or the preseason could work. Anyway, I thought the Sheed/aging redwood one was fantastic.  Congrats! on the interviews. Your stars are rising quickly.

So, I came up with a great idea. One I think you guys will love. I was out fishing one morning trying to put a salmon in the boat. About 6 am. Anyway, I was thinking about the starters, the bench, and how to integrate them most effectively. 

I had an epiphany. You don’t try to integrate them. Instead you substitute the 5 starters with the Zoo Crew en mass. With a couple of minutes left in the 1st, and 3rd.

Here we come to save the Game!

Curry makes a sign, and some bad ass theme song starts blaring, no, better yet animal sounds, a lion roars, images of a cheetah taking down a wildebeest on the Savannah shows on the big screen, a gorilla pounds it’s chest.

Stuckey, Afflalo, Max, Kwame and Amir get up, rip off their warm ups, frothing at the mouth, chest thumping and bumping.

They come in as a unit, play as a unit, attacking swarming, swatting. For 5, 6, 8 minutes they leave everything on the floor. Think about it, Stuckey aside, Max as well, the other young players must find it difficult to come in by themselves and figure out their place in the game.

This way they know exactly what to do and they totally have each other’s back. Then after 6 minutes or so,  you start putting the starters back in maybe leaving stuckey, Max, in.

 What do you think? I think it could put them into the finals this year. Next time you are dining with Curry or interviewing Joe D. give them the idea.

 Keep up the good work,

Hey Guys,

Good show, though you guys spend a little too much time fantasizing over who we will never get rather than on realistic prospects. AND you are way too hard on Chauncey. He gave us a lot playing with injuries, more than Sheed. Billups will never be Isaiah, but I’d like to see him around one more year to help Stuckey with the transition. Remember we took Boston to 6 games with a bad coach. Now we have a good one and Walter Sharpe to boot!

Now, more importantly, time for you guys to dig into those deep pockets and buy a pot! I recently updated my website. Take a look when you get a chance.

All the best,

John
