You are right Cory, 2002 was the last time a lot of teams had problems with this. Although, I'm not sure that its simply a matter of us agreeing that it doesn't happen anymore. I remember an extremely fast machine (25) that appeared to have breaker problems in the finals at Houston last year. I don't know for sure if this was a main breaker problem or not.
