I know for me it's exactly the same thing. It's Ben with his little hands and his utter inability to execute any offensive move, but with the ability to just change the game. It's Sheed, the ultimate Jeckyll / Hyde - who never met a foul he actually committed but can block four shots on a single possession, drive for a windmill dunk, and then hit a three. It's Rip and Tay, looking like big skinny kids with no reason to be on a basketball court with the hulking bodies that live out there now. (Wonder how many players' arms are bigger around than Rip and Tay's legs?) And on and on. I guess it's always the humanity that really gets you hooked. Who wants a perfect team to follow?
I wish I could have seen all of the second half last night. I started watching the DVR recording around 9:00 and had got about half way through the third when things were really beginning to cook and Rip and Redd were in a no holds barred war, and our side of the street lost power. Bummer.
