Walker's 49 -Reply

[cmcarthur@kkya.com]

If the Celtics win, I don't care if nobody has a great game, and if the
celtics lose, I don't care if everybody has a great game.  I never said
Walker did not have an awesome shooting night, only that it didn't really
matter since the Celtics lost.

It's not fair to Walker to say that his 49 points are meaningless
because we lost. His points brought the C's back from a huge deficit
and gave us a chance to win, and they were therefore very meaningful.
It's different if he racks up big points against the other team's
reserves in garbage time, but this was a great performance. If Dana
Barros had hit that last shot no one would be disputing whether Walker
had a great game; is it fair to say Walker didn't because Dana missed?
