RE: eerie quiet

[OzerskyJA <OzerskyJA@cmog.org>]

I wonder if, behind all this talk and smoke, Rick realizes that Kenny is
what
killed us last year. Or maybe he called for Kenny to slow things down.  I
doubt
it.  The truth is that I would rather see the Celtics in the lottery again
playing
uptempo ball then make the playoffs playing this horrible, painful style.
If only
Kenny would push the F#$%^ing ball then he would be worth his big salary.
Anyway, here's hoping that Rick is working feverishly behind the scenes to
get
rid of Kenny.  Seriously, I'd rather see Antoine or Brevin Knight running
the show.
