Re: Wyc, playoffs, Blake, etc.

If it takes losing in the 1st round to get changes then so be it. This
mediocre drifting we've been doing with the exception of last season with KA
and Rodney is taking it's toll. Pierce and Walker are taking beatings and
more injuries trying to do it all.

If indeed a Miracle did happen long ago on Easter, the Celts will need one
also in this series.

Happy Easter, Passover, Whatever,
