I think this is an excellent point. Its sad but possibly 
true. We've needed ridiculous 3-point shooting 
performances to defeat these teams. 

My only hope is that greater familiarity with it will 
eventually lead to more success.

Princeton is quite a thing of beauty, when done by the 
world's best athletes. It seems to give these teams a 10-
point cushion over Boston, all other things being equal.

But last night wasn't just about systems. The Maloofs 
have double our payroll or so, and so its occasionally 
unavoidable that 9 out of the 12 best players on the 
floor last night play for Sacramento. 

We could have had Keon Clark, Jim and Bobby Jackson etc. 
too under different ownership. We can STILL add those 
type of guys over the coming years. It wasn't about GM 
smarts, it was about the availability of money over 
there.
