Re: Celts Nets

[Dan Forant <dforant1@nycap.rr.com>]

True I have been down on Walter because he doesn't fit into a formatted
plan of offense. He thrives in a helter skelter type of game. His
athleticism is not to be overlooked however, even the Nets announcers
praised him saying he could guard anyone from a guard to a big man. In fact
the Net announcers were very kind to Pitino and the Celts. Maybe with the
benefit of a training camp under his wings, Pitino may be able to settle
him down. It really has been a pleasure to watch this Celt team play with
so much enthusiasm and effort, you never know what's going to happen next.
This team is terrific position, with the draft coming up to build a
formidable team next season. 

Antoines shooting worries everyone, but where else are we going to get
points from besides Mercer? No one else has the offensive ability to score,
with the exception of Barros, and he's erratic. Toine's honing his skills
this year, next season if we can pick up some inside help he should get
more consistent.
