OT: Sucks, Curse of Len Bias - Page 4 - New England Patriots Forums

Fire Ainge right now, tonight.

He let it get to this quagmire (trading for Lafrentz, Wally and Telfair). This franchise needs a clean slate. I am so pissed.

Of course, in the meantime, Len Bias and Reggie Lewis died, and we let Joe Johnson and Chauncey Billups go.

I guess it could be worse.

The Detroit Lions have been rebuilding since 1957.

Joe can score, but has no heart, and 4 other teams let Chauncey go after us, we were not alone.

Yeah, but the Lions weren't the top franchise in the NFL before going into a rut.

Put it this way, imagine our Patriots winning 3 more Super Bowls over the next 5 years, then Tom Brady retires, Belcihcik leaves, and we lose consistently, rarely making the playoffs for the next 25 years, with no promise of improvement beyond that. I'll be 65 years old at that time.

Pretty bleak future for a once proud franchise.

I'm sure Detroit Lions fans have better things to worry about. They were never this invested in it anyway.

A personnel man would have maybe kept Joe Johnson on this team, and would have stuck with Randy Foye over Sebastian Telfair. so you add Joe Johnson and Foye to this year's Celtics, and even with a top coach, you're still noweher near the top of the mountain.

You need luck. Twice, the Celtics had a chance at landing a once in a decade player, and twice they whiffed.

but what sux is..its not their fault that they whiffed
thats whats so hard to swallow

This blows!! The NBA is dead to me.

This team is cursed. First Len Bias ODs, then Lewis passes away before his time, the Duncan lottery and now this kick in the nuts. I try not to believe in curses, seeing how another local team was using one as a crutch for almost a century. Maybe we should sell the farm to Minnesota and pair up a hopefully healthy this year Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to make a run in a weak East.

Hey, nothing wrong with beefing up a good rivalry. Anything to overtake the Spurs or the Mavs, who have 2 of my most dispised figures in basketball (Duncan & Cuban).
