The more I think about it, the more I think the Knight signing is
excellent.  I was near furious that Pitino signed him, but after seeing his
potential and comparing it to Pitino's system, the better I feel.

I said shut up to one person and you blast me.  Calling Rick Pitino,
Stupitino, and blasting him away is just wrong.  He hasn't coached a game
yet, and hes the goat of the franchise. He needs to coach.

I agree that the team is much improved, but having 5 guys under the age 25
is not gonna give you a playoff berth in the first year.  I think they will
consistently move up.  We can't judge Pitino because he has not coached an
NBA game as a Celtic, while at least some of the players have been here.  I
know the team is better, because they have drafted better players.  Rick
Pitino has shown nothing to anyone in Boston as far as I'm concerned. 
Whereas we know what to expect from the players (with the exception of the
new players).  What I'm saying is don't judge the new guy in town until
you've seen him play in your town.
