March 22, 200422 yr Author Gotta hand it to Danny Ainge, he did some nice f***ing up. I disagree. I think that team could be pretty good - but that is dependent on who they get in the draft. I do think that there was some questionable moves. I beg to differ. I believe trading Antoine Walker was the wrong thing to do. Granted, Walker was not the best shooter and he did have some knee injuries on his sleeve but him and Paul Pierce had this chemistry you can't replace. They were one of the best duo's in the league both averaging over 20 points. Now, Pierce is stuck with a bunch of mediocre players that he has to carry. In the past, he was able to have an off night and 'Toine could step in and take over and the Celts could pull out a win. Now, if Pierce has an off-night (which he's had quite a few)...it's a big loss for the Celts...you get the point. Also, the loss of Jim O'Brien in my opinion was big. I thought he was the right coach for their style of play. And I'm not sure if I would exactly totally depend on the draft to make my team better. As a Marlin fan, you should know this: It isnt always about talent. It is about $$$$$$$ too. Walker was making some big money, and although I am not sure what his contract status was, I dont think he was worth the money he is getting. He is shooting under .400 the last 2 seasons until this season. His free throws % has been dropping and so has his 3%. He is also not that good of a defender and has been known to disrupt the club from time to time. That all said, that is money freed up that could net a big time free agent. Plus, the talent they recieved in return is pretty good - Welsch and LaFrentz. If LaFrentz didnt get injured, you may see a big difference in this team's success. But I think the Celtics got younger, bigger, and freed up money.
March 22, 200422 yr Author Heat beat Wiz by 20. On a roll...this team is climbing very steadily. Heat 8-2 since March 2. 12-5 since February 11th. This team is gelling...

March 22, 200422 yr I have nothing against the Cavs....I will though April 9th and 10th..go check the schedule if you don't know what's going down on those dates
March 23, 200422 yr I can't believe the Sixers beat the Mavs, what's been up with them lately. Well now that gives me more confidence we can beat them on Friday.
March 23, 200422 yr I can't believe the Sixers beat the Mavs, what's been up with them lately. Well now that gives me more confidence we can beat them on Friday. Mavs haven't been well this year since Nick Van Exel left. They should have a better record with 5 good stars: Finley, Nowitzki, Nash, Walker, and Jamison.

True....but I mean it's not like they have a bad record or anything. It certainly isn't up to expectations though. They've had their share of injuries too. However, losing to the Hawks and 6ers is unexcusable. Put this team in the East though and they'd be dominating.
March 24, 200422 yr the mavs might trade AJ to charlotte for the 4th pick in the draft i think the bad idea was trading lafrentz and not getting a center. instead they got a guy who shoots threes all day
March 24, 200422 yr Yeah somebody brought that trade up before. I think it's not such a bad idea because Antawn's career shouldn't be wasted on the bench. But if he can carry a new team.....hmmm
March 25, 200422 yr if they do trade for the 4th pick, what big man would they get? too late for emeka, but probably too early for Pavel Podkolzine
March 25, 200422 yr Heat won. Heat are on a hot streak. Sixers won. Playing well without the Answer Knicks lost. Downfall of the Knicks. Cavs Idle. I have nothing to say. Raptors vs. Rockets right now.
March 25, 200422 yr Heat and Mavs this friday! On ESPN no less :thumbup Hey Bucks....we are coming for you :killthemall
March 25, 200422 yr the mavs might trade AJ to charlotte for the 4th pick in the draft i think the bad idea was trading lafrentz and not getting a center. instead they got a guy who shoots threes all day yeah i heard of that before ... ive always like Antawn man, that kid could ball but seems to get lazy. i dont think hes a franchise player but he is surely an awesome 2nd best either way i agree that it was a bad move for him to go to Dallas and do nothing.
