Honestly, I wouldn't say 2011 was a great run, but some of the best playoff runs that I've had in my or maybe the best run I've ever had was probably in 06 when we got to the finals to beat the Spurs in that seven game series and win game seven on the road at the Spurs. was probably one of my greatest wins, the greatest achievements.

Yeah, I saw that too, and I'm not quite sure what to say to that. Whether it's young guys or young people don't really watch that much TV anymore or don't sit in front of the TV for two and a half, three hours anymore, I'm not quite sure. Is it really the game? Is it really that we're shooting too many threes? I just don't see that being the main reason why... People don't watch our game anymore.
