Re: Feeling Optomistic.

Listening to Obie's press conference, he said that he diagrammed the final
play for Toine to take the shot.  Perhaps your fathead comment is
misdirected.  Remember when Obie took over and said that he wanted Toine to
take advantage of the three point shot?  Some of us didn't believe it to be
true.  What do you think now?  Blame the man who is encouraging him to shoot
it.  Antoine is being asked to do more than anyone else his size in this
league.  Shoot it, rebound it, pile up the assists, play tough D.

Massacre him when he doesn't play well in game one, but you will hear it
from me when he plays well.
