Must take exception to one thing, though. We should be kissing Ainge's ass in apology, not just giving him grudging props. He did what he said he was going to do all along -- stick with a long-term plan of stockpiling assets and build a team around Paul Pierce. When Option One -- hoping that youngsters like Al Jefferson would learn on the job quickly (he didn't) and playing the percentages in the draft (no Oden or Durant) -- didn't work, Ainge not only had a backup plan (Allen and Garnet), but the assets to make it happen. That's not luck, that's great management. Good post on the Celts. Must take exception to one thing, though. We should be kissing Ainge’s ass in apology, not just giving him grudging props.
