Thanks for keeping a little air in the list's balloon, Egg.  I think the former article missed the point about Eddie House.  He is meant to fill in at one and two, be an instant offense guy off the bench, but he's mainly there to be the point who can take the shot, if necessary, in crucial moments--as in, when Rondo should not be taking a last minute three.  That's enough for me.  
   
  The second article got me thinking about my wins prediction.  That's coming up and I'm inclined to go for a nice round number of additional wins to the 24 of last season.
   
  I agree with the Glen Davis (and agent) theory of a two year contract.  Why be held to the third year at slave (ha!) wages when you expect to be a player, able to attract a better deal after two good years.  I think it also works to the Celts' favor, in that a new three or four year deal for Davis would not be quite as high as if he had three solid years and more bargaining power.
   
  September 7.  It won't be long.  Gene
