I may sound stupid when I say this also because I haven't seen 
one single game of the Celts this season. All I can do is read 
articles, your opinions and stats.

I read that everybody isn't to happy with Walker's achievements 
and/or his attitude. But put yourself in his situation. I don't know if 
he cares alot about his own stats, but if he did and he knows he's 
not doing well (shooting/rebounding), how would you feel? Would 
you feel happy when your shot isn't going in? Wouldn't you 
complain at the refs, out of frustration? Would you really think 
about your contract like 'oh well I should complain, I've got a great 
contract'. Despite that players do get a lot of money, they'll always 
care about the game. They always want to play and do good. Hard 
to imagine when you think of Stephon Marbury, but I know Phil 
Jackson would share my opinion. (I read his book). He believes 
that players constantly critize themselves in their pro career since 
the media, coaches, etc. always critized their game since like high 
school.

Players always have to prove themselves under constant pressure. 
If I was Walker and my game isn't going the way I want it to go, I 
would be complaining as well. Complaining shows you care.
