RE: ''You wonder where Ainge is taking the Celtics'' - MacMullan (Globe)

And where did the fumes and momentum come from? - the coach. Just like the
patriots with their win two years ago.
The difference is the patriots made better trades than the Celtics. And no
matter what shit the front office threw at obie he found a way to make it
work. Nobody expected us to win the Finals that year but we did feel we
could beat New Jersey.  
I wouldn't have wanted obie's job for anything with all the crap the front
office did to him. What we see on the TV is not even the tip of the iceberg
that goes on behind the scenes. If you can't respect him for his
accomplishments that's your prerogative. But he definitely earned my
respect.  Aigne is unknown and I will give him the benefit of doubt and
pray.
Obie is gone, we are in another chapter and I am going back to lurking.

This is intrigued me and I went and found an old mailbox containing some of
our
posts ca. 5/02. Here's what Dan F. said before the 6th game against the
Nets:

I don't think the Celts are better nor equal to New Jersey. We have a lot of
work and trading to do. We've been playing on fumes and pure momentum.
Here's hoping we win, but won't be surprised with a loss.
