Paolo,

Tell me what coach you think would be successful in coaching his team to
lose?  Do you think Walker, Pierce, Randy Brown, Bryant Stith are going to
take the court with losing as their prime objective as a way of targetting a
young player who may not be able to make a contribution to the team during
the next season?

Do you think the owners want the team to lose on the court and at the gate,
while they are paying millions to the players to perform?  How is it best
for the team to lose now?  Do you think that a higher draft pick will
guarantee success?   They just played LA tough on the road but you would
think, from reading your post, that they got blown out by 50.

This team, when it goes down, will go down fighting, just as they, or any
other team should.   And that is to their credit.

Cecil
