The Writers Speak The Truth!

[Gregory Hurst <gh18@juno.com>]

The Celtics control their own destiny!  Until the Celtics prove the
sports writers wrong, I must agree with the sports writers.  Last year we
played horrible defense and was inconsistent on offense.  Only wins will
change the thoughts of Bob Ryan, Mitch Lawerence, Peter Vescey, Bart
Hubbuch, and Peter May.  Maybe negative comments from the aboved writers
will light a fire under the players!
