Re: Kenny Says He's An Underachiever

[Josh Ozersky <josh_ozersky@yahoo.com>]

Joe, it's always great to read your posts, especially
with all this IDIOTIC negativity, written by people
who know perfectly well that this season was a freak. 
The Michael Gee article was particularly disgusting. 
With no practice, Kenny has just been making it up on
the fly, and with practice and preparation should be
able to advance the ball better and feed guys to get
them going.  (Pierce in particular should be
encouraged to cut and move -- his spot up 3s and
baseline thing are a big waste of talent in my
opinion. )
