Maybe a 1-0 pitching duel with 16 walks, 4 hit batters, and 6 errors with 10 
baserunners tagged out on the basepaths! That was the ugliest game I've ever 
seen and only could have been uglier if Stack's shot counted. Our offense was 
so bad I was wondering if we should bring in Mark Blount for his OFFENSE! 
This game made my head hurt more than watching the head-on collision in 
yesterday's Nets/Hornets game -- but I'll feel a lot better about it in the 
morning than Kidd does.

Give both teams a lot of credit for their defensive efforts but defense aside 
the shooting was terrible! Is it the ultimate irony that in a game when no 
one can shoot straight -- both teams under 35%  and under 11% on threes -- 
that Walker shot 50%
from the field (7/14)? Is Strickland that deeply in the doghouse or is it all 
about matchups? Were both teams out drinking last night ... or this 
afternoon!? Were french fries served in the lockerrooms and on the benches?

Kenny Anderson's best game as a Celtic (although he almost cost us the game 
at the end with that foul).
