Newest shooting guard



Obie is taking risks and showing some courage running Walter out there at
two guard.  Pitino said he thought about doing it before against bigger
guards like Kobe/Penny, but didn't take the chance.  And now Walter
gets minutes D'ing up on the quickest, most dangerous scorer in the game
and arguably winning the matchup(even in Reg season).  Must be frustrating
trying to shoot over him and block out on D.  Could our former shooting
guard Joe Johnson have made a similar impact in the playoff's?

Even if he's cold for now, I like what Antoine is doing.  Barkley, Jordan,
Bird, Vescey, the entire mailing list, have all been commenting where
Antoine should be playing more.  And I haven't seen Toine
sprint hard on the break so much in one game since his early years.

I don't think the C's have even hit high gear yet.  When Antoine and Delk
actually get in an offensive rhythm, and if Strickland gets some calls and
plays lockdown D, there may be some blowouts soon.

It's funny how Jack Ramsey wrote a matchup article saying his son in law
would get swept, and that this was the worst matchup the Celts could have
drawn.
