    Man, I'm gonna be the biggest Sun fan for the next couple of weeks.

    I hope the Heat win it all.

    The point of having Veterans on the squad is to get you thru game 7s.

    If they can't help motivate the team through their tremendous years of playoff experience in overcoming all the obstacles and pitfalls and high emotions of a game 7 then

    all they are are a bunch of old geazers with tired legs producing inefficient costly trunovers with end games like what we have witnessed.

    House cleaning is not just about the younger PG and PF but getting veterans that have a burning desire to win and can pass on the experiences to the younger core of T-mac who still hasn't got out of the 1st round and Yao who wouldn't know what the second, third and championship round if it fell like a paino on his head.
    That's what "veterans' are supppose to do -guide the blind to what is around the next corner. Which are veterans have no tangible experience in anything of abundance.

    The only consolation is that no one predicted the Rockets to go all the way and that's the only thing that counts in the end.

    There was a game in hawks homecourt two years ago. A guy got 41pts 17rbs and 7asts and with 60+% FG. He was one of five players got 40+ 15+ and 5+ since 1994. Yao has not been great yet. However,Yao did carry the team alot before Tmac came here.

    Unfortunately all of our veterans were other team's rejects so it's not like they offered a ton of playoff experience.

    Sura was just awful. He's been a huge liability this entire series and yet Van Gundy continued to play him.

    Padgett was worthless on the offensive end which meant he was worthless period.

    Bowen shouldve started.

    Van Gundy's stubborness did not help our cause.

    The thing that really stands out is that Dick played like a dick the whole series, and Mavericks won. It seems that the worse Dick plays, the better his team plays.

    TMac & Yao are only 25 and 24 right now. We need upgrade at 4 and 1 this off season.
