Eh?

I guess you must be distressed at not watching the games then..
The Celtics had a solid defense last year statistically and in actual game 
play. They beat Detroit throught the application of superior defense. The 
Dick Harter Defense was excellent.

As for PP he is one of the best, if not the best defensive players on the 
team.
He was team leader in steals and had a large number of blocked shots. Rave 
all you want..the numbers don't lie. That being said..the Celtics are likely 
to suck this year...

And thats not PP's fault.  Frankly if I was PP or AW I would look to get out 
of the Celtics organization. They are one of the worst in the NBA and are 
surrounding the guy with Flotsam and Jetsam.
