Past is the past. It is all about the future. Its all about getting Kobe #6. Its all about passing the Celts in number of championships.

The Smush and Kwame days were tough. Pretty amazing that we almost upset the suns in the first round. One of Phils best coaching jobs.

+1

We were one rebound away from winning that series. Always kills me that our opponents that year would have been Clippers, Mavericks, Heat. FACK!
Thank you, Phil.

Remember when we gave up one of the "best centers" for an unproven high school kid from Lower Merion to rebuild?

Remember when Kupchak signed McKie, Walton, Vujacic, and Radmanovic to MLEs ... now Blake ... just sayin.

Kupchak has only really impressed me once.

Trading Brian Cook and Maurice Evans for Trevor Ariza

... the rest of his deals, to me, have went down out of sheer happenstance ... acquiring Gasol, Shannon Brown, Odom, Artest, and Fisher were all such nobrainers to me ... Kwame expiring for overpaid superstar (Gasol), Radmanovic garbage for Morrison garbage, Shaq for any real talent (Odom), Artest for MLE, Fisher for MLE ... all easy deals to broker

... turning Brian Cook to Trevor Ariza ... GOLD.

Remember when the League widened the lane from 6' to 12' under the basket so Mikan couldn't dominate the post so easily?

Remember when Magic FINALLY got a backup PG in Sedale Threatt ... but never played one minute with Threatt as his teammate because of his HIV diagnosis ...

... remember when people with HIV's days were numbered.
