Totally agree.

Hah, keep dreaming. Guys who win 6th man awards typically contribute big offensivly. This is a guys who's best scoring average was 13 points as a starter for memphis. It's sad they don't give this award for good defenders nick I know. Maybe they give it to thugs?

It's only three games man. Not to mention dwade is out. Wait till wade comes back to fully evaluate him. Wade demands a lot of attention from the defense. Yeah he isn't the shaq we know and love but I bet he is still pretty affective. Brendan Haywood? Not yet.

Ben hardly sucks. the season is 3 games in. way to early to make that judgement. He is one of the all time great rebounders and defenders. Find me better pics in that draft for those knicks picks. The past two years drafts have been horrible. They addressed needs with thomas. I hate Noah and can't argue there. He is a tyson chandler clone. I was pissed the day pax wasted a top10 pick on another offensivly challenged big man and I'm still pissed today. Our 49th overall pick aron gray looked a million times better than noah in preseason.
Lets face it boston got lucky with the players they ended up with. You got great talent from teams desperate to ditch them and rebuild. Imo boston robbed both seatle and the wolves blind in those deals. And good for you guys. But until they are in the finals I still think they have a hard road ahead of them. the bulls and pistons aren't going to just lay down for the celtics come playoff time.
