CHAUNCY

[Dorine Pratt <norine@sover.net>]

I have to say this.  I've always thought Chauncy could make it, even
though sometimes I've been discouraged, admittedly.  However, tonight he
was so good, overall, that I found myself saying in the 4th quarter,
"where's Chauncy"?  He still has some things to learn, as they all do,
but I, for one, feel he's made tremendous strides, just the last few
games.  This was a great win, over the Knicks.  The hex was broken.
Someone else who's made great strides IMO is Andrew DeClerq.  He had a
great game.  They all played well tonight, you couldn't really fault
anyone unless you're nitpicking.  Granted, the Knicks don't have the big
man now, but still, this was a great win.  Give these guys time.

I don't know whether Rick's yelling gets on Antoine's nerves, but at the
risk of getting flamed, I have to say sometimes it gets on mine!  That's
what college coaches do, and is the main reason I always hated to see a
college coach come into the NBA.  Don't misunderstand me, he's doing a
great job with this young team, but he could sit down and stop yelling
once in awhile, couldn't he?  It would get on my nerves, too.
