I was killing time in a car dealership today and cruising through my Twitter stream when I came across this tweet from Todd Defren:

Apparently it's my FIVE YEAR Twitterversary. Wow. This thing's been on for 5 years? Can you envision it being around another 5?

Consequently, after the tweet, he wrote this about his twitterversary:

Of course, Doc says he wants to spend more time with his family. I can't argue with that. Who doesn't?

Will we miss Doc as the head coach? Yes. Will the team be the same without him? Probably not. Will the players play for any other coach, including Paul Pierce? Not so sure.

What I'm almost sure about, it's purely speculation, is this:
