I guess I can imagine this scenerio.  It means that Carr and Gaston are 
quite close personally, but then why else is Carr still around?  So, yes, I 
can believe Gaston had some things to say about this season.

The problem I had was that Carr was not just expressing disappointment in 
this season.  That's understandable and justified.  He wasn't just implying 
that Pitino was responsible to a large degree.  You know, I agree with that, 
so I don't want to hear any crap from KK about how I'm some blind Pitino 
disciple.  He was making innuendos about Pitino not being commited enough to 
winning.  He was saying things like maiking the playoffs shouldn't be a goal 
for the Boston Celtics.  And that's a bit rich coming from one of the 
biggest frauds in the team's history.  If I were Carr, I'd shut my 
championship-driven mouth and be thankfull that my championship-drvien ass 
has a cushy chair to sit in, because I'm probably not getting another job 
anywhere else in the NBA ever again.
