I would think one reason you may get "flamed" is the confrontational nature
of your posts, not to mention the inaccuracies.  I've seen very few people
state things in a manner such as yours and receive absolute impunity.

Regarding your mentioning of Kobe and Duncan, I NEVER said that they "may
appear" to be better players than Toine because they are surrounded by more
talent.  All I did was point out something which is totally obvious to any
serious NBA observer.  Are you trying to say that is false?  Do you think
the C's match up with the Spurs or Lakers?  Are you blaming Toine solely for
the fact that we are not an upper echelon team right now?

Kenny  is not a very good PG IMHO.  Toine is not a very good F IYHO.  But I
am not gonna call you names over something so silly.
