Oh for Pete's sake - there WEREN'T ANY. Unless you think Patrick 
O'Bryant or Hilton Armstrong were better values than Telfair, in which 
case there's really nothing more to say.  The only 'good big at seven' 
are high school kids  - oh wait, they're no longer draftable.

Ainge did the smart thing and tried to pick up something useful with the 
later picks (including Powe).

Rondo is *so* much fun to watch. It's hard to believe that none of the 
other teams who had him in for workouts didn't see what we're seeing now.

And G2 has really matured his game.

I still don't like Pierce going 1 on 3 and not passing out. He'll get it 
as he gets to know the kids more, I hope.

Gonna be a fun season!
