Re: Celtics Barely Win: Celtics 100-Rockets 96

[Josh Ozersky <josh_ozersky@yahoo.com>]

You know, I am very positive and one of Twon's biggest
defenders.  (Far from being a Nabob!  Read the list
archive! I'm Sunny Jim, and we are MUCH better than a
barkley-less Rockets, BTW.  Thanks for bitching about
a review I stayed up until 1 am to write.)  Where was
I?  Oh, Antoine.  He can say "Bite Me," but don't you
think it's time for him to start practicing dribbling
and other skills?  He turned the ball over three or
four times last night just by not taking care of his
dribble.  Do you think it's ok for him to glance over
at his posse at every call, or to grab his crotch and
glare at a fan for an entire time out?  I think that's
pretty beat, and I doubt Bill Simmons made it up. 
Antoine can be as big of an a-hole as he wants if he's
playing well, but he is really playing very poorly.  I
don't see how you can get deny that, or why you would
if you have any faith in the guy.  I went to the
Knicks game, and asked Tommy Heinson afterwards if he
thinks we should give up on Twon.  The great man shook
his head and said, "He's going to be a great player." 
But who doesn't he say that about?
