Re: cousy

I don't blame Cous for not wanting to do all the games, he only shows up
for half the ones he does. When the Celts were as bad as they were, we
needed Tommy to pick up the beat. Maybe now he'll be able to get down to
basketball, technically speaking. Why would anyone take on Tommy, they'd be
crazy, excellent ball player, excellent coach and motivator, and decent
announcer.
