    At least he's open about it to his customers. Make the plan clear. Don't dupe people into buying season tix.

    I guess he thinks that there's at least three "difference-makers" in this year's draft. He may well be right.

    But they've already bought their season tickets for the year. That's a huge hit for the following year if he doesn't want people to renew them.

    I feel bad for Dirk, he deserves one more good playoff run.

    That and Hakeem absolutely dominated the 1995 NBA playoffs against David Robinson (his MVP year) and the Spurs in the WCF, then against Shaq and the Magic in the Finals.

    I swear he saved his best basketball for the playoffs that year. He pulled out every offensive move against his opponents and they could not keep up with him.

    Sabas plays for the ENEMY. I'm in FUCK RUSSIA mode right now. :devilwink:

    He didn't play his best years against the best competition so I give him a demerit for that.

    I don't know how I forgot about Olajuwon... :doh:

    But Dirk? Dirk beat LeBron in the finals. :smiley-hvala:
