I agree with all of this, and I do expect improvement this year.  It's just 
worrying me that everyone else seems to get it and has worked their butts of 
this summer except, apparently, the Celtics captain.  If he's always going 
to be the type of player who gives everything on the court, but doesn't work 
very hard off it (this was how I compared him to Barkley, not the size of 
his butt), does that have any implications for future success?   I don't 
know.  I really think this uncharacteristic pessimism of mine is due to a 
Red Sox hangover, but I really didn't expect Antoine to be 20 lbs overweight 
when he was specifically told not to be.  And, I also didn't think Pitino 
would cover it up ("everyone came into camp in phenominal shape").  I guess 
that's where the talk started of stripping Antoine of his captaincy, and I'm 
not sure that's a bad idea, but who else do you choose?
