Mark Berry is on the money!

[" Michael A. DiZio" <" mdizio"@rcn.com>]

Mark Berry is absolutely right in his assessment of Baker's inpact on
this team, present and future. Baker's apologists on this list better
prepare themselves because Mark is not simply "venting." He has
distilled the essence of the absurdity of having any emotional
investment in this team because as long as Baker is present, this team
will not grow! Baker's public trials are only beginning, as people like
me finally let go of the hope that Vin is going to work out and the hype
that was forced upon us by the Celtics and the media. ("Vin will regain
All-Star status" says his dad etc) There is no way that Baker can
continue on this team through the remainder of his deal.
Something has got to give.
