I think every team has a prodigal son, probably. What he's given to the city as much as what he's given to the team, the fans, has been extraordinary.

The back door beckons to a prodigal son.

Ironically, it was the father's blessing that actually "financed" the prodigal son's trip away from the Father's face! and it was the son's new revelation of his poverty of heart that propelled him back into his Father's arms. Sometimes we use the very blessings that God gives us to finance our journey away from the centrality of Christ. It's very important that we return back to ground zero, to the ultimate eternal goal of abiding with the Father's in intimate communion. (pg. 243)

He's being measured, I think, too harshly. But I believe in him. He's a streak scorer with this team. He can get on a roll.

This team is being judged very harshly.

I think we've been probably disrespected more than any team in the league this year. I think we've been given up on by a lot of media people, a lot of fans, our own fans, other people around the league, and I think if there's one team that feels like they're disrespected it's us.
