Well Josh and Shizz and dajubo and dliles -  this column really 
raised your hackles. Sure it is not about to be nominated for a Pulitzer, 
but equally as sure is that it incorporates all those distasteful stats 
that no Celt true-blue wishes to own up to. 

< It would be more rewarding to think of a few statistics 
that actually tell you something than ones that don't. > -Josh

These stats, like your prejudices, are but one man's slant. But who is 
to say that these stats are actually misleading or stupid?

< They're a holdover from the bad old days before the internet and

scores every day. > - Josh

Perhaps some of us would have a better grasp of our team's current 
condition if we did  "parse " our box scores a little more closely.  
We are, after all, behind our opponents in FG%, RPG, APG, BPG, PPG, etc.  
And yes, due to this it IS surprising that we have a better than 
.500 record.
