the end

[Douglas342@xxxxxxx]

    I watched most of last night's game and, for once, was thoroughly 
entertained.  While the end result was unfortunate for us, it was certainly 
not unexpected.  My thoughts on some of the players:
    Delk was hot and I see him more and more in the classic Vinnie Johnson 
mode.  He isn't a point guard, as was painfully obvious every time the Cs had 
a break opportunity but walked it up the floor into the half-court game.  
Like one of the columns the other day said, the Nets are the team we'd love 
the Celtics to be.
     Pierce is elevating his game even higher.  I thought they'd have to 
carry him off on a stretcher last night.
     Blount has played with fire ever since coming back from Denver.  His 
skills are limited, but he is certainly a competent back-up center.
     EWill played a big game.  After watching him work in the low post, one 
wonders why he isn't getting 12-15 ppg night in and night out down there.  
Not flashy, but a solid player who contributes.
     And the Walkers, "Evil Antoine" and his cousin "Good Antoine."  I give 
up.  It's all been said.  I don't know what you do with him.  "Good Antoine" 
has so many skills you don't want to trade him and has such a good attitude 
that you want him around.  "Evil Antoine" is such a bonehead you want him in 
Denver. 
     Will Bremer continue to develop?  Will Battie (who continues steady 
improvement) be healthy?
