Re: Toine's lack of finesse

Cecil,

WTF!?  Do you only read 1 sentence of my post?  Wait, do you even know how
to read?  I have said nothing contrary to your friggen' (probably
prefabricated) larry bird quote.  Send me a larry quote that says "Walker
is the best low post player in the nba and never gets swatted" if you want
to debate with me.  Sheesh.  And stop writing to me and keep your goddamn
posts on the lists.

If only you knew how to read and comprehend an argument and didn't use
sarcasm to put down others because of the lack of your communication
skills.

"Walker is a terrific talent, a superstar in the making.  I love the way he
plays.  He passes the ball so well for a big man, and he can rebound the
ball.  He takes a lot of bad shots, but he's still very young, and a good
coach will get that straightened out" - Larry Bird

If only Larry knew as much as you and Ryan.
