Re: Orlando game (and my paranoid post of the day)

You know, I was going to post a quote from Rodney Rogers. After the Philly
game he was quoted as saying Antoine told him to just shoot every time he's
open. I was going to follow that with a quote from Antoine, saying, after
last night's game, that he, "trusted the other players." Then I was going to
finish with three quotes. The first from O'Brien saying that "if nobody
cares who scores, this team has enough offensive weapons," and that he was
going to keep, "hammering that home." Another one from OB, my favorite, the
one where he tells Pierce to pass the ball more. And then, in a  great
flourish, post the "we can't wait for the others," gem from Paulie P., and
then make some wiseass comment about who we really need to worry about. But
after reading Mark's post, who needs to? Very nice Mark.
