RE: Peter May Says On WEEI:

[OzerskyJA <OzerskyJA@cmog.org>]

See,  my take on it is that the Celtics were a bad team, but that they made
a big jump when Pitino left, and are now a solid playoff team
in the east and a borderline playoff team in the west.  Obie has steered
the Celtics to a .500 record through horrendous road swings, multiple games
against title contenders, etc.  If he had been coaching all year, I'm
convinced we would be several games over .500, at least at the even-up
point.  Just my feeling.
