DJ,

Not trying to be argumentative but what was Obie's record last year without 
Harter and before the defensive rule changes? Didn't he take over a team with 
a losing record at midseason, facing the toughest part of the schedule with 
more road games remaining than home games, and without the team's starting 
center? 

I get so tired of hearing the constant criticism of O'Brien. The C's will 
probably end up winning 45 - 48 games this season. To hear some folks tell 
it, Phil Jackson or Pat Riley or Van Gundy or fill in the blank would coach 
circles around O'Brien. That logic implies Jackson, Riley, JVG, etc., could 
make this same roster a legitimate championship team based upon 'superior' 
coaching. What a crock of sh**.
