My God, Cecil!  Double agents on this list??!!!  Some Lakers Mata Haris
here.
Some moles for the Sizers. This is devastating!

Cecil as an Amrerican (or 51.5 percent of an American, with the Canadian
authorities
shooting diseased Toronto citizens, the giant frog infestation in
Quebec, the Japanese
killer whales eating all the Cod Fish off the coast of Labrador,
and the American boycott of Canadian products causing
the Canadian economy to combust, the exchange rate is plummeting fast)
it is
your duty to reveal who these agents of basketball espionage are.


When we win, they are
>silent about it.

It's good that you've taken an active role with the team, Cecil, and can
notify
us of such discrepancies.

>If the bottom line is business, than the Celtics are succeeding.

Absolutely right, as reflected in their bouyant TV ratings and the
amount
of sports coverage they receive in the Boston Media.

They have
>emerged from the land of the lotto,

Thank God, they're in the East and not the West, or they be in that
awful lottery again.

to make the playoffs in two consecutive
>seasons.

It doesn't get any better than that for the team known as the Clippers
of the East.

 As a business person, one would want the additional revenue.

Certainly right there, and they plan to shovel it in fast, with thier
magnanimous gesture of
raising ticket prices a few million percent.

 As
>a fan, one would want their team to go as deep as possible into the
>playoffs to improve the self esteem of your players.

As long as it improves Antoine's confidence in taking more shots, that's
all we can ask for.

 These guys have
>played ball their entire lives, but none of them, prior to last year,
had

And that intensity came through with their whitewashing of New Jersey.


That builds character and
>hopefully will make them work harder to address their weaknesses.

It has already improved Walter McCarty's singing career.


As for me, I'm sorry I wanted them to win 16 games and pick up
an impact player in the draft.  How foolish I was, as these
Celtics have shown us with their vanquishment Of Indiana and their
steel-trapped minded coach Isiah Thomas, that they have truly what it
takes to win championships.
