Danny's commentating

[Mark Piotrowski]

I'd hope they wouldn't comment on Roy vs. Telfair's future since 
Telfair's played all of 30 games in a Celtics uni and Roy's played 
about a dozen.

What does that tell us?

If Mark Blount lights up Jefferson does he have a brighter future 
than Big AL?  God help us. BTW, if we still have Raef, does Jefferson 
get a chance to bust out?  or does Doc continue to "go with what he 
knows" in Raef?

In all seriousness, even though Roy looks like he's a player, i'd 
*still* rather take a risk on a PG like Telfair than a guy like Roy 
-- who I don't think will ever be superstar level.  Tie always goes 
to the position of greater scarcity IMO.

I think Telfair's confidence is still working itself out after being 
"demoted", I hope that he can bounce back and be a solid/spectacular 
off-the-bench PG.  That nearly-half-court alley-oop to Green was a 
thing of beauty was it not?  And if i'm not mistaken, Telfair was the 
starter for our recent 5-game win streak.

I expected Ainge to use his spot as a way to massage public opinion 
some, but i also didn't get the sense he was "pulling a Pitino" and 
blowing smoke up our you-know-what's.  The praise for Scal and 
Telfair wasn't unwarranted overall, neithr was the criticisms of 
Gomes/Allen.

Glass half-empty, half-full and all that.

Gald they got the win, no matter who was
