LA Times quote on Celts

[Douglas342@aol.com]

Cheery words from Mark Heisler's weekly NBA column in the LA Times:

Not that he's losing it or anything: Celtic Coach Rick Pitino lost Pierce for 
two weeks because of a sprained ankle and publicly blamed it on Pierce for 
taking off a wrap designed to reduce swelling. "He was told not to take it 
off and he took it off, not realizing," Pitino said. "Now he's on the IR 
[injured reserve]." Pierce said the trainer told him he could take it off if 
it hurt. Of course, what's the harm? By the time the Celtics have to re-sign 
Pierce as a free agent, Pitino will be back in the NCAA. .
