Re: O'Neil is still out there

    I got a novel idea for building a Celtics playoff team. Make sure your team's
leading rebounder averages all of 8.0 boards in 37 minutes per game. Make sure
your next best rebounder (Pierce) averages 5.4. Then make sure no one on your
roster outweighs your 6-9 starting power forward, who can't play interior
defense.

    That ought to do the trick. It couldn't possibly make a failed situation even
worse.
