Congrads to Antoine

[Ryan W]

Yeah, it was great to see Antoine celebrating last
night (and with a mini-wiggle thrown in during his
great 3rd quarter run).  I did have a tinge of
jealousy though; I wish he could have had that moment
with the C's.

But at least we can now settle that age-old debate: it
turns out a team can win a championship with Antoine
Walker as it's starting small forward.  And to think
nobody believed me when I said it was possible.
