... The Sporting News polled its Internet readers on how well they =
thought Pitino's Celtics would do this season. All we can say from the =
results is that optimism has run amok. There were four categories: =
Playoffs, NBA Finals, Lottery, or Back to UK. Of the 1,127 people who =
voted, none - not one - thought the Celtics would miss the
playoffs. And none - not one - thought Pitino should go back to =
Kentucky. On the other hand, 85 percent picked the Celtics to make the =
playoffs and 15 percent picked them to make it to the NBA Finals. And =
this was after Jordan signed!=20


Hows this! Around 15% think we will make the finals! I was optimistic =
about making the playoffs but the finals.=20
Was there an argument just after we signed Pitino about him bringing =
instant credibility? Well there is the answer in that internet poll.
