And Now For The Negativity

[wayray@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

- A tired Miami team sans its two best players is a very bad club, so it's real hard 
to determine anything conclusive from the game, or in fact, any of the post-Toine 
contests so far, as the Celtics have faced depleted teams. Memphis on the road (and
where else would Memphis be) will be more of a measuring-up type of game,
with the C's frontcourters having to contend with a scoring big man
in the Great Gasoool and the naive PGs dealing with Williams. And then there's
the Grizzlies' depth. 

-  Kedrick Brown in French means Boris Diaw, sans the passing skills.
No one should have a problem if Ainge includes him in a deal, and I can 
see why they prefer James to him. 

- Yes, by all means trade Battie, as Perkins is apparently ready for 
a thing called love, no, actually ready to contribute this season,
and for that to happen, one of the Big Four have to depart.

- Haaahh, the "Big Four!"  Can I copyright that?

- Will see how long Vin Baker can hold up. Sure, right now, things 
are fine and dandy, everything is fresh and new, but when the long and
winding road kicks in, and Vin has a few bad games, will his confidence
 survive the hit?
