@grapejelly, wow. thank you for the equally kind and well-written compliments. i am a sucker for high-quality syntax.
also, since i assume you are a fan, i would recommend blackberry jam for your next PB&J. i used to pick the blackberries for my grandmother to use in hers when i was a kid, but smuckers makes a mass-produced version that is pretty solid as well.
@donchrono, i'm staying away from the detroit-toronto game. the back-to-back doesn't scare me in itself. it's the three games in four days, four games in five days, etc. with heavy minutes and lots of travel. detroit had two days off before last night's game, and because it was a blowout, i don't think anybody on the team played 30 minutes.
also think van gundy is a good coach, and with the way lowry and derozan are struggling offensively right now, i think detroit has the pieces to still get production without jennings if he comes up with the right game plan. i think monroe is a guy you can run your offense through exclusively, and they have solid outside shooters to put around him to make toronto pay if they have to start doubling. i also have a very biased, very high opinion of jodie meeks' abilities as he's a year older than me and played at a powerhouse high school in the metro atlanta area, so i've been enamored with his ability for many years. he is someone that could play more minutes and pick up some of the scoring slack for jennings. majority of teams come out with intensity the game after a disappointing effort like they had last night. not confident enough in all the dominoes falling the way i've described to make it my pick for today, but it's enough to make me stay away from toronto.
still working to find my selection if it's out there. who knows? today might be the dreaded day off.
think i may have to take a page from @pappicaps' book and start posting my position on hedging every hour on the hour to avoid having the conversation over and over and over again. i understand the concept, i am not interested in applying it to this particular situation.
