After a brief time out, Mister Research and I have returned! While on brief hiatus, I was lured to a Houston Chronicle headline: HAWKS THUMP WIZARDS. What revelations were contained in the accompanying article, what with Washington turning the ball over 26 times, Atlanta missing its first eight shots and 13 of the first 15. Of course, it was reported both teams were tired – they had played the night before! Eleven games into the season and teams are tired. Give me a #&*!&# break. ******
