Bryant Stith is a stiff?  I don't see that at all.  Guy comes in, 
plays well defensively, is an offensive threat, and leaves it all out 
on the court, and he's a stiff?  What's up with that?

Is it just me, or do other people tire of the endless psuedo-witty 
plays on names that some people insist on using?  (Notable exceptions 
include Joe's "Poultrino" which I find really hilarious.)  I mean, 
I'm seeing people with names that are easy to make fun of doing this 
-- you might think they'd be aware of the whole "rocks and glass 
houses" thing.  Or maybe it's because the people they're making fun 
of won't respond?  Well, it's up to them, I guess.

Incredible.  The guy can make nearly 50% of his threes and still get 
blasted for  so-called "jacking them up."  In my book, if Walker's 
going to shoot that kind of percentage from behind the arc, he's got 
the green light whenever he wants (well, almost, I guess).  Some 
people won't give him any credit at all -- even when he's doing 
something good for the team.  You've got a good point about Walker 
hanging out too much on the perimeter, though.  If he's going to be 
the power forward, then he ought to be inside helping the center 
rebound the ball.  I think this is part of Pitino's plan for the 
team, though, so how much of it is Walker's "fault" is still vague to 
me.
