Re: My hero, the A-Walker

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

Part of Walker's problems are the way Pitino used him in prior games with
the exception of the Denver game. He was out to far for his own good, he's
not a good ball handler from that far out and he certainly wasn't getting
assists. When he stays below the foul line, he can be more creative.
Witness his decent shooting, assists against the Nuggets. As soon as they
started dumping the ball down to him things started to happen. Tommy
Heinsohn is correct, keep him there. As far as his personallity goes he'll
have to develop that because he won't beat the fans. All he has to do is
concentrate and leave the fans alone and quit whining to the refs. Let
Pitino do that from the bench.
