< No reason other than to point out how the pro-Paul/anti-Toine crowd 
(of which you are certainly one of the front runners) seems to exhibit 
selective amnesia when it comes to doling out criticism. Toine certainly 
deserves his fair share but rarely, if ever, do we hear a discouraging word 
from and your crew when it comes to critiquing Paul; especially when it 
is appropriate to do so. You gloss over or completely overlook all of his 
shortcomings while making a concerted effort to lay the smack down on 
Antoine.  There is an obvious double standard for the two. Why is that?  
Why is Antoine the bastard step-child and Paul is the fair haired boy???>

Steve - My crew?  Last I looked, there were no Svengalis on this list 
or hired Fedayeen running around coercing others to join their
anti-Walker campaign.  Some fans prefer Toine; some prefer Pierce.  
But honestly, Steve,  I have not observed any broad based, pro-Pierce 
or anti-Walker conspiracies.  
 
If restricted to a comparison of Walker only to Pierce instead of who 
he should be compared to - other power forwards - I do feel that Pierce 
is a lot more valuable to our team as a wing than Walker is as a power 
forward.  I take it that you think differently.
