Foggy Three Pointers

Fighting a head cold today, so pardon the randomness of these points.
Honestly, who doesn't get pumped up when Kevin Garnett gets down on all fours in an exaggerated defensive stance? Some people preen and posture for offensive plays, but this guy does it for defense. Apparently he's starting to call himself "the Cobra" for doing this move. I like "the Panther" better, and I think this is a little too much like Kobe naming himself "the Black Mamba" but whatever. It still gets me pumped.
I'm still laughing at the "Sam Cassell is Antonie Walker" comment by Jason Levine from the other night. Nobody was more polarizing than Antoine in his multiple stints here. Nobody is debated more this season than Sam Cassell. When he's on, he can be the catalyst that pushes you over the top for a win. When he's off, he can cost you a game. Thankfully, unlike Antoine, Sam is still just the backup. It is completely up to Doc Rivers to know when to use him and when to yank him out of there.
Jeff thanks for the laugh..D West will always be one of my favorites....and KG, well he certainly knows how to convey his intentions to the rest of the team
Alright, I'm not really feeling "The Cobra" it's a little too simple. How bout this, it's a little spicier - "Cobra Verde" -. It's a Werner Herzog movie about a friggin CRAZY dude. It makes sennse on like 3 different levels.
Antoine did an amazing job for this team and was much more than just a "chucker". Hopefully the comparison was just for how "polarizing" both players are. If it weren't for him, this Celtics team would have been the new Clippers- at least we had a few fun playoff runs...
