I've been complaining about Kenny, but you're right, his teammates muff a
lot of passes and that's got to drive him crazy.  Potopenko was awful last
night.

I still think he's been very selfish, and is the main reason the Celts
don't run the floor as hard as they should.

At least Fortson has shown that he can finish plays, so maybe he'll see
the ball.  He looks a lot better than he did in pre-season, where he was
getting stuffed all of the time.  He's got a nice touch and has banked in
some tough shots off the glass.  And 6 rebounds in 11 minutes?  Get this
guy some playing time!
