Magdalena-
	I dont think you have any idea what you are talking about.  It is
unfair to judge this team with Pierce out, Vitaly and Walter hurt, and
Fortson still yet to show his face.  I think considering the lack of
Fortson we have surpassed expectations.  Who knew that we could do this
much better just by taking Mercer out of the line-up.

	I think by the end of the season this team will really get a
groove on (if everyone stays healthy) and prove you wrong by making the
playoffs.  Look at this teams vs the ML days and you will see, personel
wise, how far Pitino has taken this team and how much value he has built.

	We almost beat the best team in the league last night.  We can't
yet play with the big boys, but at least we showed up.

Subject: My  favorite team really sucks...Pitino Sucks

Bad team poor coaching
no leader no motivation
bad management pays big bucks to the non deserving people
and the celts org is the best example

If pitino is so good...why is he exhibiting an ML Carr type of show?
Dump this guy coz he's gotten really stale to the players and the fans...

As Larry Bird says...3 years of coaching is enough coz everybody gets
stale
on you, especially if you don't win and reach a certain goal.  A big name
such as Pitino ain't enough to lift us up...
he said he needs 3-5 years to see development and success but he ain't
doin
it and ain't doin it right.
