RE: Wow! Michael Gee Lays Into O'Brien & Celtics Style

["Enrile, Roy" <renrile@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Michael Gee gets paid to be extreme in bashing or finding interesting
takes on the C's.  Unlike him, I won't get upset with the confused
offense till the team has had about a year to blend.  Baron Davis said
the same thing.

As for the questions:
-Sure I suspected from the beginning that Ainge/Obie would clash and
Ainge might eventually take over as coach.
-If Ainge takes over coaching, we'll finally see fastbreaks and plenty
of scoring, but no-heart on D(like all his Phoenix teams and
Gugliotta/Barkley type players).  I hated that.  I'd stick with Obie and
the lockdown defensive style for another 2 years till the
kids(Perkins/Brown/Banks) get mature.
-I disagree w/ Michael Gee... great defense actually is entertaining.
Nobody mentions it, but the Lakers had pretty much the best opposing fg%
during their latest championship years.
-Even if Ainge and others dislike the team's current style, I think it's
the right way to build to a championship.  Sac/Dallas/NJ won't ever win
a championship with their great fastbreaking.  But Houston/LA/SanAn with
their power halfcourt offense, decent fastbreaking, and Obie-like
dedication to defense did win championships.  That's why I predict Larry
Brown's Pistons will unseat NJ this year, and will successfully get
rings in a few years.

1. Is Ainge giving Jimbo enough rope to hang himself?
2. Where's the fast break basketball Ainge promised the fans?
3. Do Wyc and Steve in the front office have a clue as to how
de-enternaining
the team is?
4. Will Ainge force Jimbo's hand into playing Perkins and Hunter by
dealing Battie?
5. Is Ainge smoldering? 
6. Is Ainge aware of the general dislike for the team's style?
7. Could Ainge name himself coach of the Celtics if a long losing streak
occurs?
