Re: Good win

An examination of Cecil's *entire* post reveals that he intended it to 
recognized for what it is: major sarcasm. Combine that with the fact that
Cecil is known to be a staunch and vocal supporter of the C's in general and
Antoine in particular, I respectfully suggest that he is not deserving of
your post in response. I applaud your desire to call somebody on the carpet
regarding (what appeared to be) negative, inflammatory comments, but Cecil's
just not your man. Just my 2 cents.

Regarding 'Toine, it does appear that O'Brien has loosened the reins on him,
and that Antoine has responded... somewhat. I was still disturbed last night
to see him bulling towards the basket, seemingly unaware that one of the
best shot-blockers in the game was tracking him the whole way. But I can't
question the heart of a guy willing to go to the floor in the final seconds
to preserve the win for his team.
