Patriots in position to move up in draft?

When Kenny Anderson gave Rick
Pitino some lip, and the Celtics coach
didn't like it, there wasn't a lot more he
could do than sit him out for a game. You
can't fine a player for mouthing off, or
loafing on defense in the NBA. It's
against the collective bargaining
agreement, which has yet to be delivered
in full to the league teams. The Celtics
are a long way from winning anything
because their point guards cannot defend
up top, and Boston might also have the
worst defense under the basket in the
league. That's a hard combination to
overcome. <snip>
