Sorry, I must have missed it when you said that -- at least the first 
clause (you certainly harp on the latter one enough, though, at least 
for my taste).  Oh, waitaminnit, that's right, I've been lurking on 
this list for 5 years or so I haven't seen anything like that written 
by you.

It ain't, er, isn't.  At least by me.  But hey, you do what you want, 
I can't stop you.  I notice that many emails are much more well 
thought-out and less strident than yours, though.  Just IMO.  You 
probably don't care, nor should you, but hey, it's all about free 
speech, ain't it?

>...what a jerk.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, too.  (Geez Cecil, you sure called 
this one.  And he didn't even have the guts to direct it at _you_!)

ObCelts: For the first time this season, I'm happy with what I see 
over the whole last 2+ weeks.  At least they made it interesting near 
the end in Phoenix.  With an "off" night from Walker.  (How did he 
_not_ get PotW?)

And what's the deal with Danny "Ship Be Sinkin' II" Fortson?   Give 
the man 25-35 minutes and he will give you a double double.  And, 
instead of looking totally clueless, he looks tenacious under the 
boards.  Though he may not be the second coming of Paul Silas, I 
can't see thinking of him as completely useless.

I remember four or five games ago, Walker was coming into the game, 
turned to Pitino and clearly asked "Three?" while holding up three 
fingers and pointing to himself.  Sure 'nough, Battie and Fortson 
were in the game, though I forget who the guards were at the time. 
This lineup stayed in for a limited stretch, but still ... seemed to 
work well enough.  Maybe we'll see the "experiment" next season as 
well.

Beat Minnesota.
