    I would like to take Tmac and Yao out of this, since they are the "superstars" that are suppose to keep the games competitive. Its their job to grab rebounds and score consistently (if they fail in this, we probably lose no matter who else steps up) But we have 13 others (10 active and 3 "rotating" IR players) who need to play with fire in the belly, dive for lose balls, hit a shot or 2, grab a clutch rebound - which is what we seem to be missing about 25-30 minutes each night.

    I want to know which players from the DIRTY BAKERS' DOZEN play with heart and intensity and who don't (and why you think so) ?


    - I like JJ, Barrett and Sura for sure. Last night Pidgett showed a little character on the court. Anyone else ?

    Jackson, Sura and Barrett play really hard everytime they are on the court.

    If just one of the PF would show some heart and effort I think we would be in a much better position.

    true our two superstars Yao/Tmac play with the least amount of passion/heart or intensity. We have said for years Yao plays hard but not with intensity at least he doesnt show it. Now we pair him with TMac and everything we thought about Yao has been said about him..

    Spurs doesn't play with passion too, but they have the right
    surrounding players with energy and young legs. Parker and
    Ginoubli would be mostly on IR under JVG. Parker is too young
    and Gino is too erratic.
