The Celtics have a reallly Young team, young indeed, and that's what seems to win in the NBA now and days. The Baby Bulls topping over the San Antonio Spurs. A young defensive Mavericks team uses 1st half margin to own Heat. And the Atlanta Hawks topping over the Indiana Pacers (Yes I know they were without artest, but that didn't make a difference on the defensive end the hawks played nicely). So why not the Boston Celtics? Like many fans have said, Team Chemistry's disruption and coach. Yes I am on the Band Wagon Doc Rivers needs to be fired. Boston's a young team, apparently youth can make the playoffs, and beat teams like San Antonio faster then you can say 'Andrew Bogut's a bust' No that can't be right we said that faster *GASPS* So how come Boston isn't winning? It's all on the coach, granted we should've fired the stupid fool last off-season, and make a ditch hard attempt at Lakers Coach Phil Jackson or better yet, New York's Larry Brown. At least Larry knows what's going on, and knows he cannot fix it. The difference between Larry and Doc, is that Doc knows what's wrong but refuses to correct it, that is why Jim O'Brien got a slam out the door in Philadelphia. And it's going to be Doc River's downfall as well, as to Team Disruption: Why oh why did we trade Antoine Walker to Miami for virtually nothing, He could've very well been worth Former Grizzlie Jason Williams, a PG which what they needed, He could've been worth James Posey, who seems to have a nice touch from the outside, he could've replaced Walker somewhat. Yet we got nothing, it costed us, if your going to make a trade with an Eastern Conference Champion, please very please, make them give you something good in return, and not bullcrap because that's exactly what the Boston Celtics got. Why did you sign Brian Scalabrine? He was a bust waiting to happen, and now it happened. What exactly did you get out of it? I said it before, and I'll say it again, you could've commanded a PG which is what you lacked via Gary Payton's free agency. But no you went for nothing, Boston Mangement costed this team alot.
Now Marcus Banks and Dan Dickau are busts, Delonte West is too young to lead the team, And Tony Allen's a nutcase. Granted things could be worse, but if the mangment had done the simple things, the C's may not be half bad not bad at all. Antoine Walker was a cancer no doubt, they had to get rid of him, but couldn't they command a price, Why did they settle for Dan Dickau? In their right mind did they know Steve Blake (At least he shot the rock well) was in free agency? Did they foresee a chance to get Chicago's Kirk Hinrich? All these options were there, could've been taken Advangtage off, in their Haste to trade Walker they forgot the true purpose of what they were trying to do: Revive their basketball team and make the playoffs. Granted you can't say Walker was all bad he made contributations to the team, last year, and arguably years before when he played the C's. But he costed the team the playoff series, and Danny Ainge wanted to turn over the Keys to the Younguns. The Problem? They didn't get anything in return for Walker, and forgot to fire Doc Rivers. It costed the team the Atlantic division title, and more importantly a trip to the playoffs.
