Snake Bitten?


Say it ain’t so Big Al. If you haven’t heard yet Jefferson will miss at least a month after having his appendix removed earlier today. Whatever your stance on Al you have to admit this is not what he or the team needed. We’re one Theo relapse away from being a very small team. You can only play Perkins and the Kandi Man so much. As a side note there’s a good chance that someone within the Celtics organization probably thought “Quit being a bitch Al, it’s a stomach ache.”

Final thoughts before tip off:

- Bob Cousy is back again, despite the fact that it seems to make him miserable. And yet he’s preaching patience.

- Emeka Okafor has been a revelation on my fantasy squad this year. He’s blocking shots like a beast while scoring and rebounding well. If Perk gets in foul trouble (very plausible) and the C’s limit Ratliff’s minutes (the smart thing to do) it could get ugly down low. That said I feel good about Jake Voskhul starting for them.

- “It would be nice…I don’t believe in must wins unless it’s a game 7” – Doc on winning tonight. That’s how to build a culture of winning.
