List eye-witnesseses, please kindly clarify!!  If this guy Blount truly
has truly slimmed down to the 220 pound, 7-0 weight class in order to
regain his previously thoroughly invisible lateral mobility (as now
hyped by Head Coach Spin-Retardino and also widely lapped up by the
local media), won't Blount and Moi-So-what? eventually slide into the
identical " 'tweener" space that McCarty, Battie and Frog Man alrready
ineptly occupy at a combined multimillion dollars per year, in order to
satisfy Pitino's dillusions? All four of these "a weight room away"
Spintino star recruits are creepily identical in size and build.

Now more than ever, it is meaningful to salve the dignity of Boston
Celtics fans that we actually have just one spirited guy over 230 pounds
(Potapenko) who noticeably endeavors to body-up on the Shaqs of the
league. May the player's who care last until the next coaching regime.

I still say let's stay serenely calm and patient and treat this latest
joke play as a mere coincidence until Pitino finally gets fired, just
as  he squandered Fortson's 11.6 pure-guts rebounds per game in order to
emphatically prove a point that his monkey outbreak was simply the worst
defensive system in the league, and further demonstrate that it was
progressively even more hopeless as NBA veterans became familiar with
it.
