Careful, John. 

You would be well served not to reference such a "Neanderthal" analysis like 
that website's statistical look at C's stats to date. For the Empress on this 
list has recently deigned that Pierce is merely a "victim" in an Ainge/O'Brien 
tug o' war and thus bears no responsibility at all for the C's current plight 
and anyone who thinks otherwise is guilty of Neanderthal thinking. 

When Walker was here, Pierce was able to thrive despite double and triple 
teams but now that Walker is gone, in the Empress' bizarre world, the fact Pierce 
routinely wilts under double and triple teams is only because of (in her 
words) "overall mediocrity" and "little to no talent difference among our top ten, 
maybe even our top thirteen players"; despite the fact that the current team 
is deeper than when Walker was here just from the sheer number of bodies if 
for no other reason. 

And despite her stated excuse for Pierce's lousy performances year-to-date 
being about "overall (roster) mediocrity" she is also "sick of survivor Obie 
being considered some sort of modern-day Svengali able to squeeze lemonade from 
lemons." This is especially a hoot coming from one who often pontificates about 
other posters' flawed logic.

I'd love to discuss the "Neanderthal" logic of that website with you more but 
you'll have to pardon me while I step outside my cave now and try hunt down a 
wild animal that I can club to death for my dinner. Nothing like the taste of 
raw meat to satisfy our hunger pangs, you know? But I'm sure that since the 
Empress is so satisfied with Pierce's sparking play that when she visits 
McDonald's each day for her usual Happy Meal, she'll continue to stuff the All-Star 
ballot box on behalf of the C's max contract "victim."
