RE: Brian Hill fired

["John Lyell" <Jlyell@concentric.net>]

I think the thing this team and the C's need badly is some veteran
leadership, and a go to guy. They are in a lot of close games but just give
them away at the end. 5 losses in a row for the Celtics. Cato must of had
about 10 dunks tonight and made us look bad. Cato, Roger and Mobley killed
us.

Without Pierce we do not really have any outside scoring threat. Cheaney did
hit some tonight.


If we don't get Pierce back pretty soon we will be looking up at new Jersey.



Hey who is this Eddie Robinson guy with Charlotte ? He looks real athletic.


Iverson supposedly has demanded a trade. Anyone think it will happen ?

Strange isn't it? You'd think that Bibby and Shareef could start right
away for the Celts and the majority of NBA teams. Dickerson and Lopez are
tall, slashing off guards and Othella Harrington is having a breakout year
at power forward (.527FG%, .728FT%, 15.6ppg 7.2rpg) at the age of 25.

It gives me pause to see a team with similar young talent to our Celtics
so far down at the bottom of the league tables. One thing it suggests is
that Pitino may be doing a fair job as head coach after all.

The flip side of this coin is that there are a lot of teams near the top
of the standings that don't seem to have qualitatively better talent than
the Celts:  just a lot more age and experience playing together in the
NBA.
