Give ML a break!

[John Liang <liangj@asiaonline.net>]

It is interesting to see some people are still bashing ML. Give him a
break! with or without him, the Celtics were going nowhere last year. If
you have to blame someone, why not say "why did Larry Legend not coach
the Celts?" (boy, he should be hang as a criminal for "deserting" to the
Pacers!!), or "why did Larry delay in getting Rick here?" Both questions
are bull shit, and so is bashing ML.

He may not be the best coach, or a great coach, but he has been with the
organization ever since being traded here. Maybe many of you don't know,
but he was very popular back in Larry's days. You have to love him,
because he would be waving towers, yelling like carzy and oh, put in a
bomb or two on the Lakers etc. Maybe you won't hate him so much if you
had known him better as a player. He came to the Celtics to save the
franchise, and he did his part -- amid the most ugly and unpleasing
part.
