I thought this was interesting, from today's globe in Dan Shaughnessy's article. Its a quote from probably the biggest cheerleader the Celts have, Tom Heinsohn, and another from the Cooz:
Heinsohn: "You know what happens when you are making a souffle and you mix all the ingredients and put it in the oven?" started Heinsohn. "If you take it out of the oven too soon, it flops. And that may be what we are doing."
Cooz was similarly underwhelmed.
"I didn't want them to make any trades," mused the first great Celtic. "I don't have that kind of confidence in aging free agents, especially guys like Garnett or Allen who haven't won anything."
Geez, when even Tommy says something bad about a move you KNOW it was terrible. I mean, he's such a homer he made numerous comparisons between Rajon Rondo and Bob Cousy last year!
When I read this and listen to Maxwell and Ordway on the Radio, I find that I do not understand the NBA any more.. they and baseball rely so much on experience the game itself seems to have lost a lot of relevancy.
