    As many predicted, Dick Harter has joined OB's staff in Philly. Harter was a great defensive coach, and helped implement the defense that took the team to the ECF two seasons ago.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Harter was fired on the same day that O'Brien resigned as the head coach of the Celtics last January. O'Brien said shortly after getting the Philly job April 20 that Harter was likely to join him. The two were together for 2 1/2 seasons in Boston and helped the Celtics develop into a playoff team.</div>

    good for him, I'm sure he's happy with Jim and I give him credit for a lot of our defensive successes

    The first thing I noticed when I read this was... damn, this dude is old. I've never really seen anyone that old... besides Hubie... do a coaching job.

    If he is a defensive minded coach/assistant..Then that will bring out our defensive potential...

    -Ricky D
    -Banks
    -Jiri W
    -Pierce
    -Blount
    -Chuck

    These are all great defenders/or have potential to be..Ricky D has the potential to be a defensive force...If we can somehow utilize each of these players defensive potential and put it together to from defensive chmeistry on the defensive end..We could become one the the leagues best defensive teams..Its just all about motivating these guys..Geting them to see ahead..And see what each of them can bring to the table to help this team win..If we can do that..Theres no doubt in my imnd we will be a great team..with chemistry..As well as a great DEFEFNSIVE TEAM....Anyone else agree!
