     Well, Hank and I were not among them.  I fear that I lost my Celtics 
T-shirt years ago.  They do something which I acknowledge is funny at Staples 
games, and I detest crowd manipulation with calls for certain cheers at 
certain times. Being older, I find the game provides enough entertainment for 
me, and I know when to cheer.  I don't need someone telling me. I'm also 
proud to tell folks that the Celtics are (I think) the only team without 
cheerleaders!
     So during one of the timeouts, they pan the crowd and the cheerleaders, 
who are prancing and dancing around the floor.  Then they find a guy in a 
Celtics shirt and his picture goes up on the big scoreboard.  The crowd boos. 
Quick cut to a cheerleader.  The crowd cheers. Back to a Celtics fan for more 
boos, back to the cheerleader, etc.  The last Celtic fan they showed was the 
Bird wannabe.  Hokey, but funny.
