A Reproach to Skeptics

["Josh Ozersky" <jozersky1@nyc.rr.com>]

The Celtics have looked pretty bad recently, but I'm not too worried.
Simmons said that he thought we would be OK once the new guys
got adjusted, and also said that he expected us to lose to Charlotte
and Philly.  I always thought that Charlotte was one of the top three
or four teams in the conference, and you know Milwaukee is, whatever
their respective records.  Our defense isn't getting too badly burned;
it's our offense and rebounding that's killing us.  But I think once we
start to "fight like wolves" again, we'll be OK.  Defense and rebounding
are the key; this will never be a pretty offensive team until we start
running, and we'll never start running until O'Brien starts coaching. Which
is never.
