To tank or not to tank is reminiscent of the old bNuclear plants serve a purpose but please donbt build one in MY neighborhood.b
Prior to this win streak, when things were going badly, damage-control Danny strongly inferred that he had anticipated the lottery all along and would welcome such a (draft) opportunity.
It turned out to be the most psychologically strategic position (suggested by
team consultant, Dr. Brain) that Danny could have taken to light a fire under
his confused mishmash of highly-athletic swapped bodies. it securely bonded
them with a new coach they had previously bdisrespected.b This Brain Doc has some pretty good instincts - he realizes that whatever side of the fence Ainge is on, his brash MO will continue to assure that his players/coaches will unite as one against him.
If Carroll continues to take little baby steps toward the Ainge bvisionb look for the Brain Doc, who has been focusing mainly on the unique character of Carrollbs nose, to persuade Danny to re-sign him as head coach. Few if any
of the higher profile but smaller nosed coaching possibilities advanced on this list would be willing to work under the man we call Danny, the guy many of us have come to know, love, yet distrust. Danny claims that we could not attract FAbs due to the Boston climate, harsh fans and press, and a non- playoff team (even though we made the playoffs the last two years). Guess who I now submit as the premier reason why important FAbs (or coaches) will not sign with the Celts. Also guess what certain Brain Doc damn near got his ass fired upon suggesting this to Ainge. ---------- < If I were to trade away Pierce (as if...) I want to get Arenas... does all what Pierce can but better. He shoots in control and has great handle. I think he's got more leadership potential than Pierce. > - Jaims
Arenas for Pierce? If you have followed the Wiz certainly you must realize that the talented Arenas has caused mucho dissension with his selfishness
and tude and is most responsible for the demise of Stackhouse, the up-and- coming Kwame Brown, and the 20-41 Wiz in general. Is he really what the Celts need when we already have Davis, the on-court lamb, off-court Satan? At least you didnbt suggest that Pierce be allowed only one more minute of play per game (33) than Davis (32), and two more than Welsch (31).
<This isn't the first time Banks has done this, just the most visible. Any theories? Some guys are notorious for protecting their shooting percentages by not attempting those kinds of shots. Is Banks that kind of player? > Berry
Yes, unfortunately he so far is. I brought up the similarities in personalities between Banks and the late great Joe Forte many months ago but no one cared to hear that. Nothing has changed since which is why I remain convinced that Banks is not our long-term PG answer but merely yet one more athletic NBA hotshot in search of his next 30 seconds of highlight film fame.
