Re: Hello, old friend (and some Celtics thoughts)

When the Celtics have Walker, Pierce and Eric scoring in

habitually turns to the 3-pointers and allows teams to
creep back from big leads.

Because it's like falling off a log - it's the path of least resistance.




As for Walt, if I were Chris Wallace I'd consider
offering him a secure 3-year deal in the low one million
range, as this would give the Celtics additional FA
options in the summer of 2006 when the Celts already have
24 million (Baker, Battie, Delk) coming off the cap at
once, with captains Antoine Walker at 30 and Pierce 29.
He'll want more than that. It's funny that NOW he's actually earning the contract that Pitino gave him. The $8M question is, when he gets another, will the old Waltuh - the one who was making stupid decisions on the court and was complete immersed in his day job, music, off the court - reappear? I do agree that the new Waltuh has been nothing short of amazing. I didn't know he had it in him. If I were Chris Wallace, I'd have the Waltuh signing in bold 72-point font on my resume - even though I suspect it was actually Obie who was the impetus behind the decision to re-sign McCarty.
