celtics roundup

[Steve Ouellette]

OK, now Josh you've gone too far. Delonte is our second-best player ... and he couldn't beat Telfair in 8th grade? That's just ridiculous. Telfair is a flashy and outstanding passer, which doesn't make him a better basketball player than Delonte West or a lot of people, and as of yet doesn't even separate him much from Omar Cook.

Please do not send another highlight reel to prove your point. While these are fun to look at, highlight reels for some reason only show made shots and completed passes. I could make a sizzling highlight reel of Orien Greene that would make him look like Oscar Robertson, for 30 seconds.
