    Just as long as the Leprechaun logo isn't featured wearing a beret
and curly mustache. As Celtics fans, I guess it's high time we bone up on
our Jerry Lewis and Mickey Rourke video archives.

    Regarding Jerome Moiso, it does sound like he needs to spend the
summer working on his right hand even if the results aren't as
impressive...sort of like a fastball pitcher working on his changeup
during training camp.

    As soon as NBA veterans start denying his left, Moiso could hit a
wall and lose confidence. I do hope the "Frog Man" has a good rookie
impact.

    We'll really only see once he starts playing against power forwards
that we've actually heard of. Frankly, most of the big men in the Shaw
league aren't household names even in their own households.

    I'd like to see how Moiso stands up against another Shaw "phenom"
like Jonathan Bender.

    Tariq is kind of a "black power" anti-establishment type in France,
hence the change to a Muslim name etc. I'd love to see either him or
Derek Anderson at shooting guard. Both would help the Celtics improve on
defense for one thing.

p.s. The boxscore Francis Hsu kindly posted said that JaRon Rush played
but shot 0-6, while Bergerson and Vanterpool were DNP-CDs. Was that an
error? It sounds like a lot of people saw Bergerson and Vanterpool on the
floor.
