Yeah, I'd like to see Rick straighten him out here.  Anderson threw some
brilliant passes in the first quarter, and it seemed like Walker tried to
respond, saying, "Oh yeah?  Watch this!" and *whoops!* the ball would go
zooming over a teammates head and out of bounds.  Uh, Antoine, you're
clearly recognized as *the man*, you don't need to go out of your way to
prove it in every aspect of the game.

The best was when he was guarding Richmond bringing up the ball and he
smothered him so bad the Kings got called for a 10 second violation.

For the first couple of minutes of the first quarter, it was like opening
a time capsule and pulling out the 80's Celtics.  They were pushing the
ball up the floor, Anderson's was throwing brilliant passes, players were
moving without the ball *and getting rewarded for their work* and it
looked like the C's had that old swagger back and they were going to just
destroy the Kings.  Reality settled in a bit later but I've got my fingers
crossed that this little flash is what's in store for the future.
