I didn't take it as harsh as you did.  I think Hubie was merely pointing
out that it takes a strict decipline and young players to continue to do
this and do it successfully.  And really, as of Today, all we do have is
Walker and a bunch of backups.  Now granted that Mercer will be a star
and Billups has some potential.  But the rest are average players with
average talent.  RP is the best ever to get the most out of his players
while hiding their weaknesses.  Merry Christmas to all.  Troy
