Somewhere out there is an author who made a lot of money from a book he wrote called "The Wisdom of Crowds." Obviously this guy never visited any Celtics message boards. If he had, he might have been treated to one message proclaiming "Pruitt is better than Marbury." My all-time favorite message was entitled "The Telfair Era Begins in Boston."
But back to the Pruitt-Marbury thread. Call me a masochist, but I not only opened the message and began perusing the various responses, but I found my number one insight of the year.
"I don't see any team beating us four games out of seven if we are healthy."
Wow.
He/she didn't have anything else to say, and what he/she said wasn't relevant to the thread. But, hell, can you blame that person for posting that piece of genius from every mountain top in the world?
Within every crowd, there is one wise person. Somehow I don't think that's what the author was getting at in the above book.
