Blount was the instigator

Egghead, you got it wrong again. Per the Bible, a prophet isn't a prophet if 
he is wrong ONE time. You obviously aren't a prophet nor do you have a inside 
source.... Peeing in the shower, my weenie, er foot....

<The team didn't view the argument as being triggered by the controversial 
Davis. 
 
     Instead, a number of staffers were reportedly upset with Blount's 
behavior leading up to the cross-court shouting match. 
 
     But considering the way he has responded on the court, Blount has 
essentially left himself above internal reproach. 
 
     ``I hear Mark talk all the time,'' Carroll said. ``It's a matter of what 
I choose to worry about. All I care about is his ability to perform when the 
ball goes up. What happens later is not my area. At the same time, it's my job 
to try and help him perform. 
 
     ``Mark is an emotional guy, and that is what drives him. Sure he's 
emotional and says things, but in the big picture it's like a mouse nibbling at 
your toes. There are other things that are more deserving of your attention.'' 
 
     This has become Blount's mantra as well. If the 7-footer has surprised 
himself with his recent play, he's keeping that particular emotion to himself. 
 
     ``I mean it - I don't even think about it,'' he said. ``I'm still 
learning the game, watching a lot of film with John Carroll and Frank Vogel.'' 
 
     Blount, a favorite of O'Brien's for his fanatical approach to 
conditioning, continues a rigorous pregame shooting routine with Vogel. There isn't a 
Celtic in better physical shape or more tuned in on the defensive end. 
 
     If anything, the trades served to heighten Blount's on-court awareness. 
And yes, the memory of those deals, as well as O'Brien's resignation, still 
burn. 
 
     ``All of the trades,'' Blount said, ``they were just people that I 
worked with. If you work with someone for five, six, seven years, it will affect 
you when they leave. 
 
     ``So right now I'm just trying to work with the core group, guys like 
Paul (Pierce) and Walter (McCarty). I'm benefiting from the fact that we have a 
lot of shooters. You're either going to guard them or guard me, and right now 
I'm really getting helped by that.'' 
 
     The question is what Blount will remember more come July, his 
improvement within the current group or all of those old hurts. >
