A few thoughts on a rainy Monday morning

[Eggcentric at aol.com]

. In the past 25 yrs., only three No. 1 picks have seen their team win 
a Championship ...   Olajuwon with Houston and Robinson and Duncan 
with San Antonio.   Shaq also won championships, but not with the 
team that drafted him. 

. Doc Brain once again was sitteth at the right side of Danny Almighty 
at the pre-draft camp with not one Celt scout sitteth at his left. 
Must make our scouts feel real important, eh?   Brain prefers 
Thornton's brain type over other more talented wings Brewer, 
Green, and Julian Wright.   Does he also favor Jianlian over BIGS 
Brandon Wright, Horford, and Noah? 

. Seems like Wyc, out of desperation, might now be amenable 
to actually trading Ratliff's expiring contract for a vet player 
with a long-range biggy contract.   So maybe we can expect 
a trade for our #5, Ratliff, and Green (Danny's perennial trade 
chipster). If we trade #5, might we then expect that Danny, who 
is clearly addicted to never seeing a draftee he didn’t love, will 
not be able to resist still adding a couple of '07 draftees to 
our roster?   He might even attempt to acquire a middle first 
round pick (for Jason Smith, who I mentioned a while back he 
was smitten with at #32),

. Why do so many Celt message boardees dislike Obie almost as 
much as they dislike Peter May? 
"O'Brien had been out of the NBA since the 76ers dismissed him 
following the 2004-05 season. The Sixers made the playoffs that 
year with a 43-39 record, a 10-game improvement. They had not 
made the playoffs the year before O'Brien arrived and they have 
not made them since O'Brien left."   - Peter May, 6/3
