Joe, I also saw those quotes and felt a little uneasy. Let's face it, the
knock on Joe Johnson was that he tended to coast and not play especially
hard. So it's a little disturbing when we see, before the first preseason
games, quotes from our best player saying Johnson has to play harder.

I'm really looking forward to tonight's game and the season, but I can't say
it's been an especially encouraging preseason. The Celts still don't have a
center or point guard, Joe Johnson, our best rookie, is on cruise control
and can't beat out Eric Williams, the other rookies apparently will be bit
players for a while and Antoine, in shape or not, is still Antoine. It's all
kind of sobering.
