Uh huh..sure they are thats just a devastating argument - that you think they 
are bullshit. Wow.. We better call the NBA and have them take it down with a 
withering statistical analysis like that.

The top five guys in efficency.. Let me see their teams have won 
championships, MVPs and dominated the game. Thats some pretty damn good validity for a 
stat.  I would take those guys any time on my team.

Twan wasn't that good last year. Just deal with it. He didn't deserve to be 
on the all-star team. 

How many times are we going to have to listen to this diatribe about Twan 
being "talented". Kedrick Brown is "talented" but he shot .35% from the field. 
Somehow I don't think he rates as a top player either. <g> Big friggin deal..all 
these guys are talented they are in the NBA.

Also its not Twan "bashing" to claim that he is a top fifty player. He is the 
only other top fifty player we have on the team.
