All you have to do today is look at Noah's numbers to realize how small and weak our bigs are. He looked like an all star today, and honestly he is not much more than a mediocre center.

Mikki has done what he has been asked to do. The fouls are a problem and you can argue that he was not a significant upgrade to POB (kind of like Marbury vs. Pruitt in my view); but they wanted a veteran. Not my favorite move; but he is playing at or above his level - not sure how much more you can expect.

Hate to say this but I gotta question the overall talent level of the Celtics with KG out of the mix. I mean Rondo is good, Pierce is good, Ray Allen is usually good (but not today). BBD and Perkins were whipped by Joakim Noah and Tyrus Thomas. Rose was a basketball god out there. Makes me wonder what is in store if we get to Cleveland later this spring (Hint, I'm aint feeling very good right now). 
Wins are few, times are hard. Here is your bleeping St Patricks Day Card.
