Oh, and for the record, I'm looking up at Spud Webb. So Malice, you're going down low, and I'll be playing the point.

DJ - Fair point, but all of the teams you can mention have (a) a better bench / other players, and (b) a coach that doesn't eat paste.

Or, at least, not as much as Doc. He's dedicated.

Finally, don't mistake me for a Jeff fan; he's a defensive sieve who can't stay on the floor. The future the Celtics are mortgaging also sucks; if I were Ainge, I'd do this deal too. It just won't save him, or them.

Yours in hate,

Couldn't arguing - this won't work if these guys all get hurt basically be used for every single scenario on every team ever?

The Spurs won't win if Duncan breaks down. The Lakers can't win if Kobe gets hurt. The Cavs will be done if Lebron shreds his knee and can't walk.

It is never a good argument to say - this wont work if they get hurt because they played so many minutes. Allen played 3/4 of a season last year, and Pierce played about the same so they'll be pretty well rested for this season.

You want to talk about injuries - lets talk about Al Jefferson and his never playing more then 71 games in a season (rookie year, 1 start).

There is a much better chance that PP, KG, Allen survive this season than Jefferson.

Fair enough... but the same could be said about pretty much any team that ranks as a contender in either conference. Take the top 3 players out of Dallas/San Antonio/Detroit/Chicago/Miami/Cleveland/Phoenix/Utah... LA Lakers (sorry, I had to)...

Malice -- you're assuming all 3 hold up and stay healthy. I'm not. The minutes they're going to have to play, plus the miles they have on their tires... it's not going to happen.

Rick Pitino wasn't evidence of a "curse", he was a bad f'n management decision.

Players getting unexpectedly hurt or dying tragically young, that's a "curse". The ownership hiring the wrong guy, that's "incompetence".

I disagree wholeheartedly.
Yes, the Celts mortgaged their franchise to KG... but they have about 3 years to get it done.
Hell, as you stated: Lebron got to the finals with pretty much no support... you figure KG+Pauly+Ray-Ray can't? Hell, you could play center, and I could play PG & they'd STILL have a shot!

I do agree with you that Rivers coaching a team that's expected to be a contender is a scary, scary thought. He was much more in his element when they were throwing games.
