way he is without Toine? That is, is it ALL based on what Toine wants,

A really interesting and important question.  I asked the same 
when I posted last week, "I wonder what O'Brien's coaching MO might 
have been if Toine had never been a Celt."  

My feeling is Obie would not be coaching this way if removed from the 
influence of AW and his  "unique" skill set. His versatility has been a
direct cause of lulling the BT into thinking we did not need a  "real" 
PF or a  "real"  PG... just let Toine do it all. The problem is, he is not
doing any one thing very well this season.  

If we progress a couple of rounds into the playoffs, I am afraid we will
see status quo.  But if we only win 42-43 games and go down in the
first round, will the owners have any choice but to make some radical
changes in both management and player personnel?
