Paul,

Look on the bright side, Paul.  Brandon Hunter and Kendrick Perkins got PT to 
expedite their development, Jumaine Jones got McCarty's extra minutes to keep 
Walter planted on the bench more, and the team "only" lost by 20 -- to the 
Bulls -- but it was "only" 20 points. 

And as all the wannabe Naismiths on this list will insist, we're still better 
off in the long run. And while the C's offense is offensive, as long as 
O'Brien is gone it's all good. Just thank God JOB isn't stifling the offense any 
more. 

And above all else, remember that losing ugly is better than winning ugly.
