Had a dream last night that I was in a 3 point contest...probably a result of me hearing about hayes. I was money from the corners in my dream.

This is actually pretty cool. I like Hayes' chances in this group.
I wish Milbourne were in the dunk contest. Maybe had he gotten more opportunities to showcase his ridiculous leaping ability, but we haven't really run the backdoor alley oop plays since the TMo/Laron days.
