Mishra- I agree 100%.  But I also have somewhat of a different view.  I've
quit reading most of the "Antoine Trash Talking" threads, but I would like
to add another point.  Sorry if someone else has mentioned it.  These guys
are not just out there to play basketball.  Whether you like it or not,
they are out there to entertain.  Now, I agree that there is a point where
the shoulder thing is inappropriate.  Personally, I'd like to see him do it
only when the game was out of hand or a guarantee that he couldn't be hurt
on defense.  As far as the trash talking, as long as he backs it up and
keeps a cool head, I could care less what he says.  From what I've heard
people like Bird and Magic say is that 95% of the players are talking 100%
of the game.  I'd just like to support Antoine and see the C's start
winning some games.
