Brain-typing was first made popular by general manager Danny Ainge in his
rationale towards signing players such as Brian Scalabrine to huge
contracts. With that in mind, we analyzed the behavior patterns from fans
around the league to get an accurate look into the heart of each team.

Feel free to add your own:

Atlanta Hawks

- (Crickets...)

Boston Celtics

- "If Robert Parrish could play until he was 100, why can't Allan
Houston or Charles Oakley? Championship!" (this is never a good thought).

- "We need role players, has Walter McCarty retired yet so we can
bring him back? We love Waltah!"

Charlotte Bobcats

- "Retired players are coming back? Any word on Michael?"

- "Well, at least BET didn't suc---err---nevermind"

Chicago Bulls

- "Post players are overrated"

Cleveland Cavaliers

Neil do I have wit? (Being facetious) That was the worst article I have
ever read, those were not fans but GM's thinking wrongly.

Let me tell you what Celtic fans are thinking:

1. Garnett and Pierce best be healthy and happy all year.

2. Rondo better not suffer a sophomore jinx.

3. Allen's spurs better be more benign than Larry Legends.

ps As for Scabs, with Ray Allen and a decent veteran 1, Powe/Posey should
get all his minutes on the Green team. Although Allen's injury recovery is
the key to that scenario. Scabs only strength is his ball movement.

"God" didn't have anything to do with McHale.

If he did, McHale would have disappeared as the Wolves GM years
ago.

I'm beginning to think Satan is at work here. ;)

Didn't the Knicks once try to sign McHale to an offer sheet? And Red
did something sneaky like signing some terrible Knicks players to offer
sheets that the Knicks matched and promptly went over the cap? (Pat
Cummings?)

[google]

Apparently it was in 1983. And the Celtics signed 3 Knicks to offer
sheets...looking at the Knicks 83 roster, they were...I don't know. I
think Sly Williams was one. And 2 years later the Celtics finally got
their man, anal warts and all.

[research]

Actually, according to The Complete Handbook of Pro Basketball 1984, it
was Marvin "The Human Eraser" Webster and Rory Sparrow. I am not sure
who the third was - I suspect Trent Tucker. This book also features a
picture of Danny Ainge with a moustache.

[google pt 2]
The third was, in fact, Sly Williams. Who the Knicks traded that same
summer anyway for Rudy Macklin.
