I just caught the tail end of an interview of Antoine Walker on ESPN... it's nice to see that he's actively working on tackling his financial issues and obviously as a Celtics fan and a fan of the NBA in general I only hope for the best for him...

The Mets finished 7-23 last season. They signed Walker hoping he could lead them to a championship.
So far, not so good. Walker is averaging 13 points per contest and leads the team with 10.6 rebounds. But Guaynabo expected more out of one of the league's highest-paid players.
Garcia expects Walker will be motivated to play better knowing that being released by Guaynabo could signal that his playing days are effectively over. Like Walker's creditors, the Mets can only hope he can recapture some of what he's lost.
So averaging a
FREAKIN' DOUBLE-DOUBLE ISN'T ENOUGH? What about your OTHER Crappy Players, Garcia??
What about Marcus Fizer??
I thought Basketball was a
T-E-A-M GAME? NOT A "ME" GAME....
From the stats that I just read from that statement, Antoine
*IS* doing his job to help your team. Maybe you should put the pressure on your OTHER PLAYERS instead of throwing one of your more effective ones(Toine) under the bus, El Stupido.
One more thing, Toine can block some shots, pass the rock, and steal the ball here and there....He's averaging 14 Pts, 10 Boards, 2 Assists, while shooting at just under 50% from the field in 2pt territory(48%) and a bit over 30%(32%, actually) in 3pt territory. And that's not good enough for you?? By the way, he's also had
SIX BLOCKS AND SIX STEALS these past 6 games, too. What more do you want, Garcia?
You're expecting him to be MJ, not Antoine!!!!
SUFICIENTE!!!! Your Team is 5-1 now with Toine. Your team won just 7...count'em..
SEVEN ****' GAMES LAST YEAR!! If I were you, I wouldn't be so picky regarding your team's BEST(yes...BEST!) Player.
If you want the Mets to win a championship, it's going to take more than ONLY Antoine....
