Yes, you're probably right, but for crying out loud are we trying to be the
worst rebounding team in NBA history (the disparity against the Nets
notwithstanding)? Am I crazy to think rebounding is a real problem on this
team? I just don't think you become a better rebounding team by surrounding
Walker and Pierce with Blount, McCarty and Williams. Don't we shoot enough
threes already??? We want to surround the league's most prolific 3-point
shooter (Walker) and Pierce, another long-range sniper, with two more
3-point shooters??? I guess this all just seems a little bass-ackwards to
me.

I have high hopes for jerome as well, but I believe the reason
Walter was out there is that O'Brien wants to experiement
with having Antoine at point forward surrounded by a center
and three outside spot-up shooters.
