Yes, I like beer, too, but even in sober moments I find Lindsey Hunter 
one-dimensional on good days, and Yao Ming won't impress me until he 
proves himself against real NBA talent.  He may well do that, but I 
think that counting on him to save the franchise is impractical.  I just 
want Antoine Walker to play what seems like his natural position (uh, 
small forward, for those just tuning in) and play the game he seems to 
prefer to play anyway.  That's not too much to ask, is it? Not so 
far-fetched, is it?  So pie-in-the-sky, eh?  Well, maybe it is ... .
