Welcome back my avian friend! Yes we are Celtics fans and even though our 
star hasn't been shining very bright in many a moon I still leave the 
desert compound festooned in Celtic gear (Also Pats, Bruins and especially 
RED SOX!!)I take much abuse from folks @ the local watering hole but my 
time will come again! When the Celtics were ever so dominant I loved the 
hatred of the Celtics nationally because it reflected to just how good our 
team really was!! It is the same feeling people have towards the Skankees, 
Cowboys or Fakers and I can't wait until that look of disdain once again 
adorns peoples faces when spying my Celtics hats or shirts etc.!!!!

No as Cecil pointed out folks seem to see the glass as half empty even 
after the delicious hail Maria(Sorry I'm Portuguese!)by "Mega" Milt 
Palacios to bring down the Nets! I love whenever "Mega" does anything 
significant Tommy relates his "Not to shabby for a guy who was sitting in 
his living room watching the NBA a few weeks ago" missive!! I must admit 
that even though I watch more college ball than just about anyone I know 
(Outside of Job related viewing) Palacios was not someone that I remembered 
and I was baffled @ his signing initially. I had already made my concession 
speech to a guest/Nets fan visiting my son and I. He had been genially 
trash talking us most of the evening and was relishing my having to wear a 
Nets hat and shirt for an entire day of his choosing (Typical bar bet!)I 
was not a happy camper @ the thought of that humiliation when the 
Leprechaun decided to interject itself and transform our dark moods into 
one of jubilation! Our pal will look good in GREEN!!.
