Hey Mark B........

What was that you were saying about nobody paying attention?  
Maybe O'Brien just wanted to give this list something to talk about. ( ;

Saw Steven A. Smith on ESPN and he said although O'Brien sites philosophical 
differences as the reason for his resignation Ainge says he didn't want 
O'Brien to leave.
I honestly don't think O'Brien was forced out.  I think, like Antoine earlier 
this summer, he tried to force his hand and Ainge called him on it.  Right 
now, that's just speculation on my part based on what little I do know. 

I just hope that Carroll will dedicate as much time to offense as he does to 
defense and not base every single game decision on how it will effect the 
defense. 
However, with the Baker situation and with our injuries, I don't see any 
miracle turn around on the horizon.
