Be Ferocioiusly Persistent

	Some people are alarmed by the utter horribleness of the Celtics in the first 
4 games of preseason.  Some people are even questioning the full court press 
and its effectiveness in the NBA.  Well there is one thing for sure Pitino is 
going to make his players learn how to run the press until they get it right, 
no matter if it takes a week, month, or whole season.  It doesn't matter how 
many times the players are on the losing end of blowouts, the players are 
going to learn the press, or they will be shipped out.  Basically Pitino is 
testing his players to see who has the mental stamina to perservere and who 
doesn't.  If you don't believe in the press, then the Celtics are not your 
team to watch.  We're never going to win an NBA championship by trying to beat 
other teams at their own game, slow down, half court, dump in the post 
philosophy.
