Joe, I enjoy reading your well reasoned, cleverly articulated and entirely
fair criticisms of Rick Pitino's basketball philosophy.  Perhaps your
modesty is preventing you from seeing that your completely consistent
stances and unwavering, unconditional desire to see the Celtics win, give
you a kind of respect on the list that someone who simply wants to make
unsupported, often contradictory, blanket statements will not get.  I don't
think anyone ever gets flamed simply for expressing a dissatisfied viewpoint
of how or what the team is doing.  I think you need to appear to take some
joy in the criticism to really get people's ire  up.
