While I will be the first (or the 70,000th) to admit that 'Ol Roy has a heck of a team, I would point out to you J that you folks do not always dominate like this. You've had many close wins this season. Some would say that you were given a certain game against a certain team called Clemson. Some would say that Psycho T gets some car-razy calls to go his way; some would say the Michael Jordan effect is already going on with this guy -- that he can do whatever he wants and the zebras will look the other way.
But all this is beside the point. Your question was what can Memphis and Kansas do against your Mr. T. Well, as far as Memphis goes, I have no idea. They don't have the depth to stave off both Tyler and the refs. Kansas, on the other hand, has Darrell Arthur, ranked as of today #18 on www.nbadraft.net; Darnell Jackson , ranked #58 on the same site; Sasha Kaun, a behemoth that will play pro -somewhere- if not in the NBA; and Cole Aldrich, a Freshman McDonalds' All-American and two-time defensive HS player of the year in Minnesota. Even with all the questionable calls the Psycho will get, the Hawks have a lot of talent and fouls to throw at your guys.
And don't forget about our guards. Again, no disrespect to what you guys have. Ellington will play in the League. Lawson sometimes makes me feel the same way. Brandon Rush (#34 on nbadraft.com) and Mario Chalmers (#23) have been on fire recently. Sherron "Bulldog" Collins doesn't know how to mess around. That's not how mama raised him. Actually, Ellington and Collins seem similar to me at times. Great quick steps to the hoop. I'd say Ellington has a better outside game, and Collins has the better Allen Iverson impersonation in the paint. Chalmers is one of the best on- and off- ball defenders in the nation and Russell Robinson is a great on-ball defender as well.
It's all well and good to say you have a great team, because you do, but to say that there aren't teams that can beat you is ridiculous. With all the close wins you've had this season, can you really feel this superior?
Hopefully we'll meet up and settle this the only way possible. I wouldn't mind seeing Old Cryin' Roy back in action.
