Steve Bulpett On WEEI Says:

[Way Of The Ray <wayray@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

- Hornets were the best team he saw in the East last season, and sees
them along with NJ, as a step above the other clubs in the East this
season.

- Celtics range of success could be anywhere from Conference Champions
(ha ha ha ha) to.....?   Well it's a big range!

- McGready is the best player in the conference, followed by Kidd.
(I agree, as I've said all along, I'd take McGready over Pierce; same
goes for Kidd).

- Vin Baker is overpaid, unless he is the guy that helps the Celtics
match up agianst
the bigger centers in the East and West.

- Bulpett offers a tripartite solution to Baker's lack of early
production:
Baker must play better, O'Brien must integrate him into the offense, and

Pierce and Walker have to realize the team has a low post option and
pass
Vin the ball.

- Walker and Pierce can become bettern players.

- Bulpett thinks the Celtics have improved on two weakness exhibited
against New Jersey at the PG position: outside shooting and defense
(Baaah I say, Kidd will shred Delk and Williams).
