Antoine Walker Traded to Timberwolves

  1. And OUR point is that the closest the C's came to winning was in 2002, and Vlade was averaging about 11, 9, and 3.7 assists on a team that saw the ball go through him every time down court.

    So, Celtics that was lucky to make the ECF in the Eastern Conference's worst ever year + 11, 9, 3.7 and bad defense = championship?

    And, again, what did Dino Radja (who last played an NBA game five years before the time frame we're talking about) have anything to do with this? I still don't get your first post.

    Or all the ones after that one.

    I misspoke about the Radja era, even though the Celtics didn't have a center then, either.

    Re: 2002. The Celtics only needed a center to solidify a good team. The stats didn't matter. They had no presence in the middle. Vlade would've given it to them. Maybe one of your other handles here can understand that.

    Let me guess:

    You never saw the Bad Boys in the '80s. Detroit flopped worse - and more often - than the Ford Edsel,
     
  4. I agree that most posters don't bust out of the gate with as many posts as mine, but I assure you, this is my only handle. I loathe DP just as much as the rest of you.

    Stats matter. A presence in the middle doesn't help you guard Shaq or Kobe, or even help you stay in front of Jason Kidd in a 3-on-2.
