Now the fact that he has become so obsessed with golf to the point he 
practices constantly and just got back on the basketball court 2 1/2 weeks 
ago, that concerns me.  I know all too well what a golf addiction can do to a 

man.>>Tammo
 
Don't worry, Tammo, MJ could still play a bit, as could a guy named Bird.
 
Sure, Walker's wrong.  He's always wrong.  Doesn't matter what he says, as 
you point out, it's early, the roster's not set and we don't know how guys 
play together.  I promise you that we'll see a different offense this year, 
though.  No point guards that just hand the ball to the captains.  May have 
been part of Obie's strategy to bring in a low post player and new PGs that 
haven't been browbeaten to give the ball up on the perimeter.

I understood your post as it was intended, and your comments were 
appropriate, IMO.

Seems Twan liked Kenny's game last year and they were at peace.  Obie 
couldn't have
played Kenny so many minutes if Twan objected.  Kenny may not have taken 
charges, but
it's hard to say he didn't work hard on D, posting the best +/- on the team 
and taking
some hits.

Baker's GOT to work hard or else the BT looks like the biggest fools in sport 
for
making this deal without full confidence that he'll be ready.  Whether the 
revamped
offense clicks or not is a bigger question.  I think Vinny takes shots away 
from the
captains, whereas Rodney was a third option, and that was no threat to their 
scoring
numbers.

Brand was unstoppable inside, while Pierce was the Pierce everyone in Boston 
knows. He shot threes. He took it to the hoop, both for baskets and free 
throws. He pretty much did what he wanted.

''From the standpoint of pure skills, Paul is probably our most talented 
offensive player,'' declared coach George Karl.

LOL, coach.  You said it.  Why'd you have to put the qualifier in there?  You 
mean the measly 3 rebounds and one steal against these amateur kids didn't 
impress you?  You mean the team that couldn't even get downcourt half the 
time to take a shot wasn't any real competition?

I love this quote.  Paul's about Paul, pure and simple.  He gets assists 
because he wants the stats.  Play both ends, Paul, and get down near the 
boards so you won't be leading the three-on-ones that I saw all night.  

When Karl says he's the best player on the team, I'll know he's gone 
somewhere.  Right now, the coach says OFFENSE and SKILLS, not COMMITMENT and 
EFFORT.

A bit more competition tonight.  Thanks for the articles, though, Tammo.  
Surprised it didn't include any Collison references or a picture of LaFrentz' 
dorm room freshman year.   Do you think the US Treasury would swap the 
American Eagle for a Jayhawk?

Mr Jacobson,

  Why in the world would you think I would want personal E-mails from you?
I left Celticsstuff because I was tired of your constant ranting over Pierce, 
which now stoop so low as to include his mother, and your tireless harassment 
of me and anything I said or did.
  When you've followed me to various other boards to continue your personal 
attacks, I've done my best to ignore you, with varying degrees of success.  
  Now you've found your way to this newsgroup.  Fine.  It's a free country.  
Unlike you I don't try to get people kicked off message boards or get those 
boards closed down simply because I disagree with them.
But let me make this clear.  Yours has now become the first and only e-mail 
address  on my filtered list.  If you have something to say about anything I 
write here that is your right and you can post it to the list for all to read 
just like everyone else seems able and willing to do. I will continue to try 
my hardest to ignore you, which is my right.
