Senh: During his first year as coach, he did a superb job. They made it to the playoffs and pulled off a major upset by beating the Dallas Mavericks in the first round. Since then, they have steadily declined. You can't blame him. They gutted his roster. They inexplicably traded Jason Richardson, their franchise player, after that season.

Senh: That didn't take long. He's just the scapegoat. He did the best he could with the talent he had. They got swept by Orlando, reigning Eastern Conference Champions and just a better team.

Well, pretty much every team needs one of those.
