there's been a lot of talk about Baker's lack of production lately. 
whether or not he had game when wallace traded for him is one question 
but after last year's debacle one's expectations couldn't have been 
much for this year. given all of those factors i think we've got more 
out of Vin this year than anyone could have expected. it's hard enough 
for one to be a recovering alcoholic let alone one in the nba. these 
guys like to party. they're young, rich and taken care of every step of 
the way. vin has a tough road ahead of him. i'm pleasantly surprised 
he's done as well as he has.
