I find it ironic that Ray went off at West for choosing the Pacers over a potential championship with Boston - only to flee to our rival to ride coattails and then be troubled by D-West's Pacers

A whole bunch.  We'd have made the Finals last year w/ David West.

Wasn't it West that chose the Pacers? I thought it wasn't DA's fault. Could be wrong. Memory hazy.

West picked the Pacers over the Celts, he said so himself.

This. He got fed up waiting for Danny to orchestrate a successful sign and trade and he also stated he felt the Pacers would be more serious contenders in the future.

But yeah, ironically, Boston was one David West away from a banner year in all likelihood.

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
It's his loss. He would've been to the ECF few times and up for a far bigger contract at the end of this season. Would have been the perfect player for our team. Almost like a better version of Perk on both ends. Such a shame. Danny had the right idea, West wanted a longer deal and we only wanted to give him 2 years instead of 3.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

What's with Danny and the two year instead of three year deal? Didn't that exact situation happen with TA, and possibly someone else who isn't coming to mind immediately (Posey?)
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

Instead, he wastes his MLE or draft selections on bums or washed-ups like Jermaine O'Neal, Mikki Moore, Jason Terry, JR Giddens, Bill Walker, Gabe Pruitt...Danny's a genius.

Lol. Hence the reason why I dislike Indiana too. He chose them over us!

But I only dislike the Pacers; I HATE the Miami Heat with a passion.  ;D

man I love watching West play......he has the Perk scowl and tude.   

I love Pacers build......reminds me of traditional Celtics teams.......tuff as nails and won't back down.

Vogel is a decent coach. too.


Heat just play street ball, wing it and see what happens.   I hate that type of basketball in the NBA.
