Ok.  Somewhere in between.  That's easy enough to say, but when you look 
at it closer, you realize that there's a *vast* difference "in between" 
the two points.  And the truth is much closer to Paul M.'s side than 
Way/Ray/kai's side.  While there's some truth to your "best/worst case 
scenario" argument, the fact is that Paul M used an Antoine Walker 
triple-double, last shot making, win over the Lakers as evidence that 
Antoine Walker may not be a selfish undisciplned punk.  Way/Ray/kai/Mr. 
Ghost uses any Celtic loss as evidence that the team should have followed 
his advice in the draft, that they "suck", that Walker "sucks", et al.  
That you can put the two together and see such similarity is astonishing.
