    Not a big point here, but by passing on, typical Peter May one-sidedness, 
I
think you have missed the main point. The Celtics were partying too much, on
the road and at home. Pitino called it to their attention by imposing a curfew
and the players embraced it in the spirit of improving their won lost record.
    I am sure they didn't stop to count how many nights they would have to 
stay
in. That smacks of May writing his usual "stay at home" column."
    For that matter, who is to say, that on those travel nights, when they 
arrive
after one AM, they didn't then go out on the town?
