in denial

[gene kirkpatrick <gk_tyler@xxxxxxxxx>]

After reading the Globe's two lead articles this a.m., I'm convinced that Antoine is undeniably in denial.  And Ainge, schooled to be cautious by Red, is likely missing his best opportunity to free himself and this team from the 500 pound gorilla that weighs us down.  Walker, his entourage of "buds" around him on the golf course, inveighs his wisdom that "we're there," and it's only three days after New Jersey sweep us in our own building.  Mediocrity protects itself with great passion, whether it's in the minors or the majors, the court house or the white house.  Clearly, I don't want to enter another season with Antoine's team.  It will take an amazing draft and a good free agent deal, plus smart moves with our $$, to put this team at a higher level--but will any of that mitigate the unmovable force of Antoine?  I have an old, expensive piano.  It looks just right for the room, but no one can tune it anymore.  I think Ainge will regret any loyalty shown to Antoine, and that probably extends to O'Brien, too.  Color me dark green.
