DEEP CELTIC THOUGHTS by Jack Handey

     Walker definitely has talent, he just needs a bit more experience.  It 
     would help if he trusted his teammates more and passed out of the 
     double team instead of trying to carry his team in crunch time.  
     
     Walker has good handle for a forward (not as good as Grant Hill's) but 
     not as a guard.  He penetrates well against forwards but when he tries 
     to do it against guards or double teams, he usually loses the ball.  
     Stick to driving in against forwards Antoine, you'll get fewer 
     turnovers. 
     
     Walker is not a 3 point shooter.  He had one good 3 point outing 
     against Washington.  Why he continues to heave up 3's is beyond me.
     
     Walker usually scores most of his points in the paint but has anyone 
     noticed that he hasn't been hitting from outside the paint lately?
     
     To trade Mercer is a sin.  He's got more athleticism than anyone on 
     the team.  His only problem is that he's primarily a screen shooter 
     and he needs to practice creating his own shots.  That will come in 
     time though.
     
     Get rid of Travis, Rogers, Brown, and Edney.  Declerq and Bowen are 
     workhorse defenders who can't be replaced.  
     
     Losing to the Warriors was a big step backwards.  The Celts will be 
     lucky to finish with a .500 road trip record now.
     
     GO CELTS!!!!
