Apparently, the team (and its fans) did back when Cousy was playing.  How 
soon these sorts of things are forgotten.  Someone can, by the way, both 
bled green and find fault with the team.  Former players, especially, get 
to say whatever they want about the game, because they've earned it.  Well,
  the Cooz has, anyway.  Maybe Tom Tolbert hasn't.  (What do I mean, "maybe"
?)  It wasn't even like Cousy dogged the team, a la WayRay, just that he 
had some complimentary words for the opposing player.  Apparently, this 
non-issue, like the "Bird not coming to the Fleet" non-issue, just won't 
die.  Not sure why this is a big deal to you people who seem to find it a 
big deal.  Didn't the team just win a crucial third game without Larry Joe 
Bird's presence, and in spite of Bob Cousy's comments?
