lol, he should quit for saying all that crap back then. I've never liked Ryan and he thinks he knows everything and that he's always right.
I'd laugh at Ryan, but I said similar things at the beginning of the season (although not as extreme). The C's bench really surprised the hell out of me.
I also miss the other memo, the one in which Stern revoked the charters of some NBA Eastern Conference teams, most notably Detroit, Miami, Chicago, Washington, and defending conference champion Cleveland? I lol'd.
I remember saying this before Posey, House, Brown, and Cassell signed with the team. Of course, I was also convinced that all 3 wouldn't stay healthy the whole year. Damn, that's some real luck.
I wouldn't have put them ahead of Detroit, and I thought that they would have had more flaws and finished 3rd or 4th in the East. Behind Detroit, Miami, and possibly Cleveland or Chicago. (lol I also thought Miami and Chicago were going to do much better)
I thought the Nets would be good. Not as good as the Celtics but I thought they would make the playoffs.
