RE: Cavs loss

[OzerskyJA <OzerskyJA@cmog.org>]

I think that Mark Berry and my "I Hate Kenny" Club (which anyone is free to
join, btw) has less to do with his taking bad shots or too many shots or
whatever.  In fact, we like Kenny's scoring best about his game.  It's what
he doesn't do -- his role as a black hole sucking movement and energy and
youth from everyone around him that we resent.
