Talented?  Oh I remember, you are one of those bolind
to the truth Antoine supporters.  As for my previous
post I was just correcting Jim's error about Antoine's
past.  My dislike for Antoine is purely on his talent
or lack of talent alone and not on his private life. 
This guy makes as much as the other superstars and
what can he do besides rebound?  He can't handle the
stronger power forwards like Malone and Mason and he
tends to get the ball stolen when he pulls his
melonheaded drives to basket.  When he does pass, he
does look good but how many of those passes get to
their target?  I look at all players who are more
successful than Walker but make less money than him
(Nowitski, McGrady, Andre Miller, etc.) and it makes
me sick that the Celts are paying big money for
someone who can't do half the things that lower paid
players do.  I say bring anyone who doesn't cause 19
turnovers and launch 100 bricks a game in for Toine
and center the offense around Pierce.  What praytell
do you think the Celts should do to improve?  Make
Antoine a point forward?  Puhleaze!
