surprised at media reaction

[Ellie Cutler <ellie@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

my initial thoughts:

 - very happy that OB resigned.  I think the team was drowning with his 
playing style.  I don't mind giving up the Ws -- we're giving them up 
anyway. 

 - very surprised that the media was so down on this, while at the same 
time they all acknowleged that they hated Obie-ball.   They all seem to 
be on the page that it is better to keep the team as is playing poorly 
since we're in the crappy EC and have a chance at a good playoff berth.

I (like many here) are on the other page - I want to see Banks & 
Perkins, a running offense, ball movement, etc. , even if it means a 
learning curve for young players and missing the playoffs.   I was 
really surprised that to a man, the Boston writers would rather see 
Obie ball and a 1st or 2nd round exit. Are we really that much in the 
minority?

If Ainge could have kept Eric Williams, he would have.  If he needed to 
deal him to get Ricky Davis - so be it. You can't get something for 
nothing.  I like what Danny has done.

Who should be our next coach?  Doc Rivers? 

Pierce is not a good 'da man' kind of player. He puts up 'da man' 
numbers when he has someone else in charge, like Antoine was.  I think 
we need to get someone like that to play next to him - no ideas of who 
at the moment.   When he tries to shoulder everything, he's terrible.
