....that our starting lineup for opening night is most likely going to be starting FOUR players (Telfair, Gomes, Al Jeff, Ratliff) from last years Celtics team?!? Not only that, but only one of those guys started for them last year (Gomes did when Pierce was injured, but not otherwise), and they were the 2nd worst team in the League! We are starting FOUR guys from the 2nd worst team in the league last year, and THREE of them didn't even start on that crap squad! What does that say about us? Just we really are gonna blow, thats all I guess....

After pre-gaming at the lone tree bar with 2 for 1's as well as NBA City at half , does it really matter how bad we blow? NAAAAAAAAAA

Um... Gomes started 60 games last year.

Telfair started 30 games.

Jefferson also started 60 games.

I just read your article and was going to reply to this post quoting my error. But you beat me to it! Howl for that and a good Gomes article.

Thanks.

I also did some quick research to find out that Jefferson and Telfair started a combined 90 games, as well. (As you can see from my edited post above.)

A magnificant observation.

Howl for you.

Yeah, trading Garnett for half the roster of the 2nd worst team in the league does make me uneasy when I really think about it.

However, to be blindly optimistic, these are young guys who should only get better, there's always the Doc Rivers factor to consider, and they were tanking pretty hard down the stretch.

OJ Mayo Here We Come!!!!!!!!

Ummmm...Derok, what about the Dimwittman factor? Are you excited to see McCants' development under Wittman? I am not sure I have any more faith in Wittman.

With us, Seattle, and Portland, we will help Denver and Utah to 50 + wins this year.

After watching Seattle and Portland the past two days... they will both definitely be better than us this season. We will finish last in our division. I'll bet anyone on that if there are any takers.

I wouldn't be so sure that Telfair will start. They said that Jaric was wearing black yesterday, the color the starters where.

We've already been down this (failed) road....

If they are starting Jaric I'd hope it is so he can showcase his talents for a trade. Cross your fingers for some team (with a terrible GM) to be weak at PG... that's what the Clippers did and it worked for them.

The Wittman factor is probably the biggest road block to the playoffs in my mind. We need to get a coach who's got a record better than .300. (By the way, Wittman's record may actually be above .300 as I was just picking an arbitrary number, but I'm guessing if it is over .300, it's not by much.)
