First of all, I believe that if you track my history of posts to this
list, you could never say that I have had a "negative" attitude about
the Celtics.

No, I have been down on Walker for a long time.  When he goes on these
rebounding streaks he inspires a vision of the player he could be.  But,
the bottom line seems to be (as I posted the other night) he is a
selfish ball player who does not pass out of even a triple team for the
open shot.  He takes way too many threes.  Yes, he is versatile and has
great upside potential.  But it will not be realized until he grows up.
Maybe he can have an epiphany like Webber did and become a complete ball
player. But I have seen him in Charlotte and on tv this year, and he
still is a selfish player who argues with the referees.  (He would
rather do that than get back on defense.)  I am not down on his talent.
I am down on his immaturity, poor shot selection, argumentativeness with
officials, and poor defense.  Many of the same things can be said of
Pierce.

Yeah, it is all the fans fault, nothing to do with the players.  The
players are the problem.  Pitino failed as a GM, not as a coach.
