Away opener

[bird <birdwl@earthlink.net>]

Some guy came back from retirement?  Sorry, didn't notice -- my team was 
delivering a good, clean, old-fashioned ass-whuppin' on the Cavs.  I was 
going to respond earlier, but Kestas stole my thunder by saying the things 
I was going to.  Two major points in agreement, though: Have to give Kenny 
his props, he played very well and I saw him "whizzing passes" and pushing 
the ball.  Good stuff.  Will it last?  Um, he played very well last night.
   And Walluh?  Lordy, lordy.  He's the most random, chaotic basketball 
player I've ever seen -- in ways worse than the kid who doesn't know what'
s going on in elementary PE -- either his chaotic energy is doing good 
things for the team, or it's like a tweeker sitting next to you on a bus.

Oh, one other point: Celts opened up a can.  This is jim-dandy, as winning 
the first 4 of 5 (as others have mentioned) is key.  On the downer side, I 
really want to give the Obiewon System a chance, but Eric WIlliams and 
Walter McCarty as our backup PF's?  C's management seems to have a strange 
attitude about the Troika: they're good enough to play center, but not 
backup 4.  Anyone else wonder why Kedrick Brown didn't see any minutes 
until late in the fourth?  I mean, I can see Forte out-playing him so far 
(and at a vulnerable position), but why not give him McCarty's minutes?

On my way to (free seats at) the Blazer home opener. but not before 
catching the first half of the C's matchup and setting the vcr for the 
rest.
