Boston: Where Baby Steps Happen

Danny Ainge, what the hell are you thinking?

Ubuntu does not mean trade Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson for Jeff Green, dangle Ray Allen repeatedly as trade bait, rile up Rajon Rondo for no good reason, and send Big Baby to a conference competitor. Ubuntu has to do with team chemistry, not sending the binding agents across the league to better teams.

KG was right to yell at Stern about the shortened season, but his talk of chemistry should register with you, too, Danny Ainge.

Because this Celtics team is going where exactly? I like Brandon Bass slightly more than Glen Davis, but the Rickety Three are a year older and will be playing more games in more nights than at any time in their careers. They have a combined 41 years of NBA experience. Are these Celtics deep? Nope. Can Doc Rivers manage to make specialized role players work in case one of the Big Three or Rondo goes down? Maybe. But then where are we?

Danny, are you going to blow this team up? Because you sure aren’t giving them the tools for one last rally for a ring, let alone beat the Heat or Bulls.

  1. As a Celtics fan, all I can do is nod my head slowly and sadly. I will say that I love the Mikael Pietrus pick-up. I hope (but don't expect) that Danny has a reasonable master plan because the current decadent state of affairs is painful.
