Welcome Theo

As the C's head into tonight's game against the Bobcats Doc Rivers, the Boston Herald, and the Boston Globe are all pushing the importance of Theo Ratliff’s pending return and the positive impact it could have on team defense. Even after watching Zydrunas Ilgauskas abuse Ratliff in the pre season I’m willing to admit that the former Piston/Sixer/Hawk/Trailblazer can help. Or maybe I’m just hoping that he can help. However, as Bill Parcells says, “You are what you are.” Ratliff is a thirty-three year old big man with a bad back. So it’s a problem if the entire defensive scheme revolves around him.
