Finally At Peace With Not Tanking

The Celtics don't have a superstar. We have a bench All Star that can't shoot and has only ever played with superstars.
I'll also mention that after this season, he'll have one more season before he's a free agent.

  I love these circa 2008 scouting reports. And if you're going to look down your nose at "bench all-stars", how many all-star games did PP start? How about Ray?

I'm surprised you didn't go with "Rondo was voted to start last year's ASG".

Looking at Jrue Holiday after his all-star appearance reminds me how little we should pay attention to all star games.

Eh, it's like anything else - sometimes All-Stars flop, sometimes they don't deserve to be there in the first place, but usually the guys who get there are better than the ones that don't, and the guys who make a bunch of games are better than the guys who make 1 or 2.

True.

Mo Williams, Jameer Nelson, and now Jrue Holiday all are the half season wonder type guys. Though Holiday is so young that he could still turn it around, but it doesn't look good.

Crazy to think that the 76ers got Noel and a 2014 top 5 protected pick out of that trade.
