Listen...my pets...why can't we all be more like George Bush. Forget the
past and just move on. Tammo, Steve, Gene, Eggy, Eggy's sources....everybody
has a valid point and everybody's making good arguments. But it's all in the
past. We'll never know what really happened back in those dark days before
Danny Ainge. It's all shiny and new now. We all know that Danny's in charge
of moving and acquiring players. We all know that Antoine is gone this
summer - there's no way he's bringing both AW and JO back. We all know he's
acquiring a playmaker and a big man who can rebound and has traditional pf /
inside scoring skills. It's all good with Danny. So please...all my little
daffodils should be in bloom now. It's springtime for us Celtic fans.
