Re: Waltuh!!!

I fully admit that I am not a Strickland fan, but he made some good plays 
tonight. The only thing I didn't like was with about a minute left, when 
Strick had the ball at the top of the key. Walker was calling for it, but 
Strick wouldn't give it to him. You could see Walker getting frustrated and 
finally yelled at Strickland to give him the ball. Gorman even noted that 
Obie was screaming at Strickland to give Antoine the ball. That seems 
ridiculous to me. Strickland, for all his intensity, does not know his role 
on the team. He thinks he is a star... he needs to learn that he is nothing 
more than a role player.
