I think the objective standard has to be a winning record.  For the
Celtics a sub .500 level is not acceptable.  That is why we cleaned
house and brought in RP.  He says he just wants to improve this year,
but we all know he wants to make the playoffs.  What better way to prove
himself than to go from 15 wins to 41.  If he pulls this off, I will be
truly convinced he is the next Red.
