Some of us old fools have been requesting patience with this young bunch.  
With the blossoming of Al and Gomes, the versatility and guile of West, the 
defensive tenacity of Rondo, the firepower of Green, the toughness of 
Perkins and Powe, why were we slapped upside the head whenever we mentioned 
that it was going to take time for them to mature?

I really like Iverson but I will take my chances with this group, provided 
they start to work the offense from inside out.
