The thing about these idiotic sports journalists is that they are never
judged on their own results in making these sorts of bold predictions.
I would certainly bet Sam Smith that the Celtics make the playoffs before
Pitino quits. Perhaps if the list got a pool together we could present
Smith with a sizable wager. My guess is that he wouldn't put his money
where his mouth is.
