Read Armand Hill’s comments about Doc. I’ll take his word for it over a bunch of individuals on here who don’t know him. Sure he is Hill’s boss, so you’d expect him to make positive comments about him. He could have said a lot of generic things about him that were nice if he didn’t truly feel that way. I’m sure Hill knows a bit more about basketball than any of us.

I read the Globe notes, and I thought to myself, Hey, these aren’t so bad…what’s gotten into Peter May?

And then I realized that Shira wrote them. Which is something I wish would continue.

Just what I thought, bodyofwater.

Very amusing article on Dolph Schayes ;D

FL CeltsFan tried to backpedal a bit in his criticism of Doc. While creating a scenario where Doc just has to show up and not mess things up for the team to succeed. He seems very anxious to give credit for Al Jefferson to Clifford Ray and any improved defense to new assistant, T. Thibodeau, while claiming he’ll give Doc a chance without being negative. Doesn’t sound very convincing. Doc is the head of the coaching staff, it’s his job to get the most out the coaching staff and the players, not to do it all. It’s not a one man job, whether its Francona, Belichick, or Doc. The underhanded attempt at trying to be fairer is annoying. You can’t have it both ways. Give it a rest on Doc it’s boring.

The “Fire Danny Ainge” article not only says nothing, but makes statements about Al Jefferson, especially about a contract extension, that has no basis in fact. The article claims that DA wanted Al “shipped out” because he was asking for a $10 mill extension. Based on the market and what Dwight Howard got, $10 mill is not unreasonable for Big Al to ask for. I don’t have anything based on fact, but I think the reason Al Jeff was “shipped out” was because DA thought that our team would be better with KG after a decision was made to optimize PP’s remaining years as a Celtic. I don’t get why people have to write such nothing other than to #### me off early Monday a.m.
