Congrads to Antoine

[Ryan W]

Mark, you can't escape Antoine.  His 'grip' is
inescapable. 

Personally, I'm looking forward to the obligatory
Antoine Championship article (appearing tomorrow, I'm
sure), the obligatory
Antoine-called-Paul-and-told-him-what-it's-like-to-be-a-Champion
article, the obligatory Antoine article when we play
Miami for the first time next year, the obligatory
I-don't-know-what-the-hell-Danny-is-thinking article,
the obligatory
Antoin's-gonna-be-traded-back-to-Beantown article,
and, finally, the
Antoine's-coming-back-to-Boston-for-the-third-time
article, when he's traded back, sometime in 2009.  
And then he'll probably head coach too, in the mid
twenty-teens.
