Come on, Paul.  the team finished their 49-33 season at 18-10 with Rodney,
hence they were 31-23 without him.  You may also recall that four of our
last regular season games were against Miami, Chicago, Atlanta and New York,
who were going through the motions having been closed out of the playoffs.

Please don't equate last season's boost to a good basketball deal.  We paid
a lot to RENT Rodney for those 28 games, plus playoffs.  I won't argue that
the post-season experience for the Celtics wasn't valuable, but it came at a
huge cost.  I'd be happy to have Joe Johnson here right now, and he's only
going to get better.

 I think Obie can coach, but I still wish we'd get a banging rebounder and a
point guard and play our share of tough penetrating basketball.  SWill isn't
the answer for that.
