article about team, talks about weaknesses

never mentions Tony Allen!

Its just ridiculous that a guy can write about the team and forget the 6th or 7th man. If this were the nfl It would be like forgetting a key player and talking about a teams weak spot while forgetting a good player bwho filled it!. Likewise with baseball. If you said a team had only 3 good starting pitchers and went on and on but forget there was a 4th solid starter it would be like what we are getting

Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.

Everyone makes mistakes and no one is perfect, i dont think he neglected Tony out of spite or hate but because he’s been out with an injury for a couple of games just flat out forgot about him.

I think the article is pretty accurate.

I don’t think it’s focus was the 6th or 7th man, rather than the whole success as a team (“Unbutu” talk). It’s point was that though we are the best team in the league, our bench is clearly a weakness, highlighted by the loss of a backup big and James Posey.

Even though Tony has shown he can drive, score, and defend successfully, the entire Bench Unit has been weak recently, and clearly is in need of a backup big!!

If You Want To Hear About Celtic Weaknesses

I think the article makes a good point in that the players are still in “Ubuntu” mode. There is no selfishness on this team. When the author talks about weakness it’s very superficial. Every time a Celtic player or Doc does an interview they consistently say they need to get better. The Celtics are World Champions, they have the best record in the league so far, they’ve met every challenge put to them and THEY say they need to be better. So we don’t need a writer telling us that.
