small sample if you ask me. Why do people tend to exaggerate things . . . Next thing you know, Scal might be doing 15 points, 15 rebounds for 4 games straight and people will say that the Celtics were fools in letting him go.

He might?

The story linked to on the main page claims that Ainge put in a claim when Lin was waived by the Warriors and Rockets, but both times another team (Houston and New York) had priority.  Legit story or CYA attempt?

I guess the Celtics would have waived E'twuan Moore to make room for Lin.

nah.  He's just not very good.

The Celtics may have blew it with Marshon Brooks, though.  Jury is still out on that.
I have to say I'm starting to disagree with this statement.

Where people out there to say it doesn't matter how much you win. All that matters is if you lose pretty. Winning pretty is a bonus
