Highlights from December:
Emerson with a 8 block game against Portland on 12/4.
A streak of 5 games in which we won by 30 or more points and in which Francis had 30 point or more each game including a 46 point game.
Simmons is playing very well and on 12/10 he asks for a contract extension...
I have to do it... although he wants big time money still for his current talent... he wants 35 million over 2 years...
We go back and forth but finally settle on 25 million for 2 years.
