id rather watch mediocre to above average ball with vets than a team that stinks full of young guys with "upside".
people on boards like this always prefer potential and rebuilding, which i just dont understand. give me an aging pierce and kg over bledsoe, d jordan, etc any day of the week.
i feel sad for those fans who have the championship or nothing mentality. it is completely unrealistic lol
I feel bad for people that still can't comprehend ......
Comprehend what?
That just because a season is championship or bust doesn't mean we didn't enjoy the season if it ends the wrong way. It just means it was a bust not a success and we are extremely disappointed by the way it ended but we still enjoyed the ride. Also the fact that we *Most celtics fans* want to either be in serious contention for a title or seriously working on getting back to that point. Not just staying middle of the pack and being satisfied.
Point taken.
It just seems, to me, that some of us wanted to see KG and Paul go.
For me, I just didn't see how whatever was coming back for them would've helped us - either now or in the future.
Doc Rivers, as one of (IMO) the top 2-3 coaches in the league, would've taken 2-3 yrs, perhaps even longer, to get a DeAndre, Kris Humphries, Brooks, etc - lineup to work. He is methodical.
I think that if Danny would've gone THAT route, we could've seen an even WORSE rebuild than before in the 90s...
...while seeing Chris Paul gloat in his 1st championship. KG would've helped to bring that to him.
Thankfully, KG chose BOS...I'm thinking he still sees a shot for a banner, here...even it is so small a shot.
Oftentimes, that's all you need - is a small shot.
I'm estatic that Danny didn't blow it up.
