Come on, Tammo, we got beaten so badly by the Wizards we could have
predicted 0-82 and made Ray happy.

It's a SEASON, it's early and players are out.  You don't have to point to
the fact that we were missing Kedriq, and that Vin's going to play even
better.  The real issue is to determine what we can expect from this team
based on the game, the game plan, the maturity of the players and what's
left in our roster that we haven't seen.

Duh, right?  Well, we went to the ECF and beat teams in 5 and 7 game series.
Minn has not, even when factoring in the tougher Western conference.  We
KNOW this.  All I want to see is that this team can beat NJ or Orlando in
the ECF to take the Celts to the Finals.  We'll lose games we should win and
win some we should lose.  The Celts regrouped against the Wolves and made a
good game of it through sheer effort and good shooting by a few guys.  The
big fellas from Minn just seem to get to the rim any time they want, and we
could use some of that.

Could we just trade Sundove for Nesterovic?  Would anybody notice?  I mean,
it would help our cause a bit. . . . . .
