Re: [Celtics' Stuff ] Don't get the detractors

Dead on, JB. 
And my biggest concern about Danny, because I'm not sure he understands how important it is, how to fix it,  or how that lack of rudder can make the worst talent look bad. Even on the teleconference call he said specifically that you get the talent and then you worry about chemistry second, as if they both operate in a vacuum with no effect on each other. An example - HMurdoch I think posted the concern we have about eh Evil Ricky popping back up, and IMO the rudderless losing is far more likely to make that happen, and sooner rather than later.

	It looks good on paper, DJ and I would have made both trades, but what 
are we left with? A rudderless group of players, which can't be yet 
called a team.
	What did we have before he got here? A sixth seed and a second round 
playoff team. While it was Wallace and Gaston who gutted the 2002 team, 
most fans are blaming that on Ainge. In any event, the team was  seen 
as competitive and won it's share.
		As my college professor used to tell us about the appealing anarchic 
philosophies of the day; "It's easy to tear down, but rare are the ones 
who can rebuild."
	Danny has taken us down the dark tunnel, let's see if he can get us 
out the other side.
