Is Danny totally to blame?

[Berry, Mark S]

Last night was depressing, wasn't it? I've taken a lot of positives from
the losses, but it was impossible last night. Just a miserable game.

Oden is supposed to be on ESPN the 14th and on CBS the 18th and 25th.
I've seen Durant a lot on ESPN, and he's the real deal. I'd still take
Oden, though.

reason to discuss them but as an avid AM sports radio listener, it's
amusing how a significant amount of callers pin all of this season's
woes on Danny Ainge.  When the franchise player is injured as well as
the "#2"(notice the quotes) player, Wally, and the rest of the team is
entirely made up of 1 or 2 year players, how can anyone really pin this
season on Danny?  Put it this way, if Cleveland were to lose Lebron to
injury all season or the Lakers to
>lose both Kobe and Odom, how would either of those teams fare?  I don't
care who's the coach, nobody can win with a team of secondary players
(except maybe Jerry Sloan).  Do I think Danny is the right one for the
job?  No, not really but I know enough to see it was injuries and bad
luck that derailed this season and not so much his bizarre managerial
moves.

We were 10-14 before Pierce's injury.  Perhaps we'll do better when he 
comes back, but I wouldn't bet too much on it.

The team now seems pretty much resigned to losing. Last night they 
played like they knew a loss was inevitable (which I guess it was) and 
the game but a mere formality.  It's not that they're not trying, it's 
just that they seem to think their efforts will be futile no matter
what.

Greg Odin.  Anyone ever seen this guy play?

Never heard of him. I have heard of Odin - I believe he is a Norse god.

Seriously, can someone on the list send an alert when Ohio State or 
Texas (or any other team with prospect in our range) are going to be on 
TV next, as I believe someone has in the past? It makes it easier....
