Big Ticket still not ready to ride. Green Bandwagon Note - Boston fans of my generation have been skittish with injuries ever since Nomar Garciapara initially hurt his wrist and we watched his career spiral downwards. I'm not saying Kevin Garnett is hurt in the same way. Furthermore, I'm glad the Celtics are cautious and hope this story is a non-issue a month from now. I'm just saying... Finally, I haven't seen much of Nancy Lane's work and wonder if the photo accompanying this article is a typical example. See picture.

Ray Allen belongs on that All Star Team. Green Bandwagon Note - Hey if the Pistons had 4 guys on the team a few seasons ago anything is possible. And I get the argument about players putting up numbers for losing teams versus guys sacrificing their stats for winning teams. However, Allen has been too inconsistent to really be an All Star. I'm not saying Joe Johnson deserves it more. Jose Calderon would have been a fine choice.
