Give me a break!  The man is a tremendous player, but he's far from a god.
Even Dwight Gooden loses once in a while :-).  In last year's playoff series,
Roundfield definitely outplayed Buck in the first 2 games.  He shut down Buck
from scoring and kept him off the boards to an extent, while averaging ~22 pts.
The third game was pretty much a standoff.

HA!  I wouldn't trade Isaiah Thomas for the whole Nets team.  HE is unparallel-
ed in the NBA.  Why, if he were 6-8 inches taller, he'd make Magic look like
Danny Ainge :-) ( Green flames most definitely heading this way ).
