Re: [Celtics' Stuff FW: Sports Guy on the Celtics

Yeah we will win games but with the worst shooting team in the league, the
odds are against us going far in the playoffs.
Yes our "D" has gotten better, but we only had one way to go. Happy for he
win but the Knicks are terrible.

As far as Walker , your right !  Who wouldn't want the 4 hanging around the
perimeter shooting  10 3's a game and shooting 39% from the field! This is
just too logical and something all the other teams in the history of the
league just haven't figured out yet.
