RE: Spurs Are Really Outclassing The Celts

Hey AW might be listening to Pitino. He was out early before the game
shooting around tonight, and it may have helped.

This is why people are so hard on him. If he were a dedicated player he
would really seek to improve on his weaknesses. I do not think he has over
the past few years and does not seem to be concerned with his perceived
weaknesses.  He gets a paycheck either way. A good reason for the fans to
ride him. You can't blame him alone, VP, Battie, and unfortunately a veteran
like Barros have not seemed to improve either. If it were not for some key
plays by Adrian Griffin we very easily could be 5-7. Antoine should learn
form the work ethics of guys like Duncan, Pierce, & Griffin. Some time you
get in slumps and need to continue shooting to get out of them, but if the
slumps become a regular thing, teammates will begin to lose confidence.

Walker's off season habits are showing, you don't have to be a side kick of
his to know he didn't do much this summer except camp out at the free throw
line. He needs to hit a mid range jumper ASAP to open his game some. He's
too predictable. To me it doesn't seem like he's focused in on the hoop
soon enough before firing away. His nose may be bent a little because of
the success of Pierce and little known CBA talent Griffin. Pierce should
have taken more shots in the Spur game, he's the best all around shooter on
the team.
