Re: Celtics preseason stats to date

["Lance Jacobson" <lancejacob@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm with you, Joe.  We know a bit of what we can expect from Wallace, but at
least we're lucky to have Josh there to ASK him questions that we'd all like
to raise.

If  you want someone to go to bat for you, hire a lawyer.  And, of course,
any front-office guy's going to throw the silver lining at us.  I may wait
to find out if Kedrick's a bust, but it's still hard to look at that draft
as anything but a lousy job by the scouts and GM.  Not because the players
were bad, but because they didn't fit here, weren't MADE to fit, and then
given away for just about nothing.  Tell me Phoenix isn't going to make
great strides this year, and it won't all be Amare Stoudamire.  Note, too
that the Sonics won't be better THIS year, but next and thereafter, thanks
to the Celtics.
