Oh well, if we must perish in the battle, let us die like men. Thirty-three 
hours and counting.  Canbt wait for opening night and especially the debut 
of Papile protege, Monsieur Frantz Pierre-Louis. Reports are the two met 
while 
shooting craps together at Foxwoods and Papile went ooh la la at the boybs 
stroke.                         

< The Boston Celtics' decision to trade for Vin Baker. It might look good for 
a 
month, it might look good for four months. Hey, it might even look good for a 
year -- though I doubt it. But I know Vin Baker. And, while a super nice guy 
whom, 
personally, I like, this is his modus operandi on a basketball court: Work 
really 
hard for a little while because he wants to prove people wrong, and then when 
they 
are sold that he has changed, start slacking. It would be one thing if the 
Celtics 
got him for one year, but they have him FOUR YEARS, at $56 million, and by 
the 
end of that contract, that $56 million is going to cost the C's their soul. >
