Apologies and comments

Hi everyone,

When I sent my last post to the list, I accidently re-posted about half of
the last digest.  What a horrible thing to do to a bunch of fellow Celtics
fans!  Anyway, sorry about that, and it won't happen again.

On to the digest...

Since when has Kenny Anderson has chronic knee problems?  Last year, he
missed most of his games because of a bruised knee, didn't he?  I think
that the Celtics would *definately* have another point guard in camp if
Anderson's knees were so bad.

You should add Elton Brand to that list... and Stanford's own Tim Young, I
suppose.  

But, the Celtics aren't going to have a lottery pick next year.  They
barely got one this year, and they are *better* now than they were last
year.  No, we don't have a center, but we didn't have one last year
either.  I'd like another lottery pick, but I don't see us getting one.

I also wonder of Toronto didn't promise to take care of Stewart next year
with a big extension.

Well, thanks a lot!  I had almost blocked out the M.L. years, and now you
have to go and bring them up again. :(
