He's not going to be that good every game, especially after he is scouted, but he will at least try to pass the ball in ways that give us an edge, and that alone makes him worth having around.

In his preseason game on October 22 with OKC he had decent stats not worldbeating but decent. Like Harris this isn't his first rodeo. If Lucas has another couple of nights like last night eat his contract and bring up a youngun or two and see what they can do.

Aren't you Muslim? You should start a Mosque, not a church. Or a temple to call for the multi-religious crowd.

From wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociological_classifications_of_religious_movements):

The church classification describes religions that are all-embracing of religious expression in a society. Religions of this type are the guardians of religion for all members of the societies in which they are located and tolerate no religious competition. They also strive to provide an all-encompassing worldview for their adherents and are typically enmeshed with the political and economic structures of society.
Johnstone provides the following seven characteristics of churches:[2]
Claim universality, include all members of the society within their ranks, and have a strong tendency to equate "citizenship" with "membership"
Exercise religious monopoly and try to eliminate religious competition
Are very closely allied with the state and secular powers; frequently there is overlapping of responsibilities and much mutual reinforcement
Are extensively organized as a hierarchical bureaucratic institution with a complex division of labor
Employ professional, full-time clergy who possess the appropriate credentials of education and formal ordination
Primarily gain new members through natural reproduction and the socialization of children into the ranks
Allow for diversity by creating different groups within the church (e.g., orders of nuns or monks) rather than through the formation of new religions

tl;dr --> The term 'church' is not an exclusively 'Christian' term. This is how I typically use it. RCC is a church, Islam is a church, etc.

No problemo man-- it always perplexes me how amazing the English of you, along with your Turkish counterparts, is (here on Jazzfanz). I just tend to borrow lots of lingo from various sociologists, so my syntax can be a bit murky sometimes.

Though I do believe the quoted definition is slightly sided point of view. In practical view, one can suggest the absolute opposite of how the concept of church defined. And calling the situation of having both a group of nuns and a group of priests "diversity" sounds really really lame to my hardly hearing ears.
