Booooo.Yeah a little disappointing, but they're making it clear he will be playing as long as he works hard in practice/meetings.So I expect to see him on the court soon.Oh it's not the shoulder again? That's good.

Ainge was responsible for keeping the team stacked with talent and instead signed overrated players that they had to beg to come here and drafting the Bill Walkers and Gave Pruitts of the world.The Heat LBJ/Wade/Bosh team was more successful than KG/Pierce/Allen clearly.Does that make the Garnett era Celtics a failure to you? Also will you please answer my question are the Spurs a failure the over the last four years?Spurs: Lost in first round, Lost Conference Finals, Lost in a super close 7 games, won a decisive Finals victoryOf course the Spurs aren't but that's apples to oranges. That core has won a bunch of titles. Putting the Celtics in the same sentence as the Spurs is an insult to Pops. The KG era really wasn't that spectacular.History, to the extent anyone cares about that any more, will be VERY kind to the KG era. That championship team legitimately deserves mention among the greatest single-season teams in NBA history and but for two knee injuries, it could have been even greater.MikeThey're nowhere even close to mention to single season best teams... Maybe single season turnarounds but they struggled mightily against garbage teams in the playoffs and had 1 less regular season win then the mavericks the season before.Kg era Celtics underachieved....kobe/pau era Lakers did more for crying out loud

That's good.Yeah they declared him healthy but that he'd have to "earn his minutes".Probably just want him to practice for a while before throwing him into the fray.
I didn't realize Smart was a 3-point specialist. Seems that's the only thing he does. ****!
