Have to agree with you here, Way. The Celtics are a mediocre team. No doubt
about that. Over three years with Rick Pitino in charge will do that to you.
31-30 since Ricky's gone. Thank God we finally have a coach who knows how to
get the most from the mediocre talent that he inherited. Seven meaningless
wins and six "this team is going nowhere" losses. I hope this keeps up.

You're right. I hate when they win after a crappy game from Walker. Why
can't they just play the game the way it's supposed to be played. I'd feel
much better if they were 0-13. Obviously, OB doesn't know what he's doing
and this team would be much better off if they had traded Walker for
Croshere and Best when they had the chance.

You'd be less skeptical that they're, what, not a mediocre team? They are a
mediocre team Way. You're right to be skeptical. What do you expect? We all
agree they need more talent. This team is mediocre and they're record proves
it. Do you expect them to win 50 games? I wish the last three years had been
different but at least they finally got it right.

You're absolutely right.
