And so it begins...

[Snoopy the Celtics Beagle <snoopy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've read all the articles, here and elsewhere online.  I sat in disgust as 
ESPN, taking a half-hour to review the playoff matchups, went "quickly" to 
discuss Celtics/Pacers, a game they're broadcasting.  Took them less than a 
minute to decide that Indiana was going to win it.  Even Coach O'Brien's 
father in law is once again predicting a Celtics loss.

They're wrong.  All of them.

There's a reason you still play the game, because anyone can win.  As far 
as I'm concerned, Isiah Thomas is a self-absorbed fool who still dislikes 
the Celtics so much he chose to embarrass Walker and Pierce on national 
television.  Ron Artest is in need of counseling, and Jermaine O'Neal is 
still the biggest screw-up in the East at the end of close games.

So I'm through with the negativity.  Let the C's hoist the threes when 
needed, and may at least 60% of them go in.  Let the Bat-Man swat the 
baskets of the evildoers of Indiana, declaring in a menacing growl, "not on 
MY team!".  Let Bremer show them what the undrafted can do given a 
chance.  Let the refs ignore fouls on the Celtics.  And yes, I love Waltah!!

I want # 17.  And I expect this team to go out there and fight for it.

Go out there and win.
