Don?'t Call It A Comeback

It seems like Banner 17 happened in a blur. One minute we were picking our hearts up off

the floor after the draft lottery and the next we were jumping on tables with

Paul Pierce. Part of what has our heads

spinning is the total roster turnover from a year ago. For the most part we've been rooting for Paul

Pierce and laundry (the green and white jerseys).

There are players that we rooted for and enjoyed watching a

year ago that had to leave to make all this happen. Those players are gone but not forgotten. Many of us still pull for guys like Al

Jefferson, Ryan Gomes, and Delonte West.

In fact, there's been an understandable sentiment to bring some of those

guys back. Wouldn't Gomes look great

coming off the bench? Wouldn't Delonte

be a viable backup to Rondo? Someone is

going to take one last flyer on Gerald Green, why not us?

Forget it folks. I

know that Antoine Walker's second stint in green taught us that anything is

possible, but I don't see these guys coming back. Not for any one reason, but each player seems

to have moved on and will likely stay gone.
