Two kids, and two professional careers (Mrs. SHB and I), continuing education, and various and sundry other obligations later it's been a blessing at this point that my interest in following the team has declined proportionally to my ability to do so. ...

Re: The Squad

All that matters is minutes and results. Did the team improve appreciably when Rondae finally started? Not really. The slow starts conti...
