No, because that's not what I heard him say. I heard him say that 
there are 6 other teams more or less guaranteed to be there, but 
that's not the same as stating who will be slotted where. That's just 
an analysis of who's the competition. I bet you loved ML's 
declarations of being championship driven even when it was clear we 
weren't. But hey, he DID say so.

Ah, not a Pierce fan in general I see. I agree that he's not a 
natural leader, but that's true of most people. The rest sounds like 
looking for a reason to harp.
