["Cecil Wright" <cecil@hfx.eastlink.ca>]

I'd also like to say that I thought Toine did a lot of things without the
ball today.  He made some nice passes, and equally as important, he set some
nice screens springing Paul for a few wide open looks.

His shot was not falling but 9 assists and 4 steals is a pretty good effort,
though apparently some in attendence didn't agree, and started to boo him
when he missed a shot with the team up 18.

How bout that Rodney Rogers?  I'll bet someone has something negative to say
about him.  Bring it on, I'd like to hear it.

Eric Williams sucks real bad doesn't he?  One day, he will make a difference
in a big game, but he will still suck.
