I share a lot of the same frustrations about Antoine as you do, Jim, but his 
dunking is not one of them.  Not only is it false to say that he "can't dunk 
on a regular basis", but to me it is refreshing that he doesn't dunk all the 
time just for the sake of it.  If your point is that he doesn't finish 
strongly enough, I'll go along with that.  You don't see him dunking over 
guys.  But I get the sense you mean that he's so un-athletic that it's 
literally difficult for him to dunk, which he's not.  Personally I think 
it's a far greater problem when you get a player like Tony Battie who seems 
to be trying to turn every play into a spectacular dunk.

I'm not sure I'd characterize Van Horn as "blue collar".  He seems like a 
little bit of a pansy to me.  Although I'll freely admit I haven't seen much 
of him outside of Celtics games.
