FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!! HOW MANY TIMES DO WE NEED TO GO OVER
THIS?!?!?!? There was NO WAY that Ainge was going to turn this into
a championship team this year. Good PG's are very hard to come by.
Ainge got one in the draft. But you're upset that he couldn't somehow
come up with two? MOst teams can't even come up with one. And I don't
want to hear the normal crap about El Amin and Vaughn. If those guys
were any good, they'd be on a team. Maybe a few GM's could overlook
their talent, but 29 won't. Those guys simply can't cut it. Will you
give Ainge some freakin time to build this team and stop complaining
that he hasn't built this into the 86 Celts yet?!?!?

Are you trying to tell me that you'd rather see Tony Delk playing
20-25 minutes a game at point guard than Anderson, or Strickland? I'm
not sure, but I think that's what you are saying.
I never said anything about the 86 Celtics or championships, only
that it seems odd and inconsistent to play half the game with an up
tempo distributing point and another half of the game with the; Delk,
hands the ball to Walker that we got last season.
As for Jacques Vaughn, I believe that three different teams; Utah,
Atlanta, Miami (and now Atlanta again) feel he's NBA quality. I'd
surely rather see him out there backing up Banks, than Delk.
If Ainge is worried about O'Brien's commitment to changing the
offense, at least he should give him 48 minutes of point guard >
options.

Maybe Ainge feels that enough changes have been made already. Maybe he
feels as though he wants to keep some guys around from last year so he
doesn't completely kill the team chemistry. And maybe he feels like
Delk will be better in the new system. How much do you know about
James? Enough to say he is no good? Maybe Ainge knows more about him
and feels like he will do a good job.

You may have a point. While all of the scouting reports indicated he
was not a point guard. Word is out, in the Celtics organization, that
he is and Ainge is very excited about him, even thinking he may be
challenging Banks for the starting spot. That would be "way cool."
We'll see.
