Re: [Celtics' Stuff ] "It's like a painful death,"-Globe

I said many times the Knicks were better than the Celts before the Marbury
trade because they were only 1 player away from improving compared to us who
needed 2-3 players. Most likely there'd be no doubt about the playoffs this
season for us if we kept EWil and Battie. The trade improved us down the
road and unloaded two potential knee problem players. I'm going to flip/flop
again (hell if Kerry can do it) and hope we don't make the playoffs.
Potential is what we should be looking at, *potential*. All signs lean to a
super improved season, next season. This make the playoffs and gain
experience is a crock.
