Summary: 

All right already, enough, enough, ENOUGH!!!

All we are doing here is discussing the statistcs and antics of 
a player from at least a year ago. Has anybody seen Ainge play
this year?  In his last 3 games he is playing incredibly.
Against Hubie Brown's slowdown basketball,  Milwaukee's dig-in defense,
and the Net's run and gun:
 
* Ainge shot at least 70% from the field, had ~11 steals, and 5 or 6 blocks *

Couple this with the fact that he has only missed 2 free throws
all season (2nd in the NBA), and his incredible hustle (undoubtedly the
quickest white man in basketball :-}), Ainge is having a great year, SO FAR.

No one I know has ever said he would be Magic Johnson, Sidney Moncrief,
or even Henry Kissinger.  He plays hard, and thats is all you can ask for.
He will never be Bob Cousy nor will he be Nate Archibald, the man's
name is Danny Ainge and he plays CELTIC basketball. And for now, we are pleased.


Now can we please talk about something else.
