Re: Big predictions

This poor guy Mike Kahn sounds woefully uninformed. Hasn't he realized that
the Celtics are "a bad team," as the Miami Herald so astutely pointed out? And
that Rick Pitino is "just waiting for the next opportunity to jump back to
college," as that genius at the Chicago Tribune reported? Tsk tsk ...

Big predictions for a small season 
By Mike Kahn
SportsLine Executive Editor

.................

Rookie of the year
Paul Pierce. The Celtics are a dangerous team, and it was crazy that he
slipped to 10th in the draft. He's a wonderful talent and is a bookend with
Ron Mercer, loaded with skills and the chip on his shoulder to prove everybody
wrong.

.................

Coach of the year
Rick Pitino. The East Coast media machine will make sure Ricky P. gets plenty
of notice for the way the Celtics take advantage of their youth and
athleticism.
