Magic on Walkers comments

["John Lyell" <jlyell@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Did anyone hear Magic on TNT on Walker's comments that "we got to the second
round!"

Magic stated Walker doesn't understand, this is unacceptable to Boston fans
who expect nothing less than a championship

Toine is right the rebuilding is over. The re-rebuilding is going to start.
He may be part of it. I figure he is gone. OB along with him. From what I
see here in this group, there isn't a consensus on what or how to do. I
believe Pierce to be untouchable. Ainge with some angst will get the job
done in 1-
3 years.
