Hi Joe,

Don't you feel it is very premature to be talking about players having to
step it up for All Star consideration with a mere 2 games under our belts?
IMHO Pierce needs to do nothing of the kind.  He needs to play consistently
at the level he is capable of.  He shouldn't try to outdo Eddie Jones,
Richmond or Carter.  What he/they need to concentrate on is playing Celtic
basketball and let the rest take care of itself.

All this All Star talk is a waste of time as of this moment.  We haven't
even seen what kind of chemistry the rest of the league has.
