10 reasons why Celts will still lose

[Jonathan Brainin]

The coaches certainly don't help but I think the players are a bigger  
problem.  We've got 4 players straight out of HS who went straight to  
the NBA, not because they were Lebron-type talents, but because they  
had no other choice.  It's no surprise that these kids have problems  
picking up even the most basic of concepts (beyond getting their own  
poiints) since they're just not that bright.   It is no mistake they  
didn't go to college, they didn't have what it took to gain  
admittance to a school with a decent NCAA program.  These are the  
"sons of Kedrick Brown".  God help us all.
