Re: [Celtic_Pride] Does...

["Berry, Mark S" <berrym@BATTELLE.ORG>]

Most of us get it Paul. Just wondering why you didn't post the same thing
after the Golden State and Seattle losses...

It's pretty clear that as Walker goes, so go the Celts. He played great
against Denver and LA (note the high assists) and pretty well against
Portland (note the 10 free throw attempts). Fantastic. So why not more
often? Are we satisfied with building the team around a guy who plays well
50 percent of the time (and that's probably generous)?

There are undeniable truths about Antoine: He is fearless and will make a
lot of big shots... He's a good rebounder... He's a talented ball-handler
and passer... He's ridiculously inefficient... He has terrible shot
selection... He can be selfish at times... 

Bottom line: He is what he is. Not as bad as some make him out to be, but
not as good as you insist. 

I didn't want to talk about this today, but how is your praise of Antoine
this morning any different than Ray's emergence after a painful loss? You're
both using the best/worst case scenario to prop up your arguments. The truth
is somewhere in between.

You know, this team would be a lot better with a more traditional power
forward like Brian Grant or PJ Brown. I'm really getting tired of Walker's
horrific shooting percentage and all those threes. Someone with a nice
dependable inside game, that's what this team needs. Tonight was just
another one of those meaningless wins you hear so much about onlist. The
tough part of the schedule starts now.
