Last year, I watched the Celtic lose 18 games in a row. This year, they're
18 and 2. I am having a complete blast watching them play well and win!

It can be entertaining to debate future issues, but I recommend also
being grateful for the present. This is a fun team to watch, and we still
have three quarters of a season to go. All indications are that it'll be a
very successful season, with lots of great games.

Why *actively* worry about a championship now? With that kind of
attitude, you can always find a reason to be unhappy. For example, if
we cruise to a ring this year, you can complain about how the Celtics
have a short shelf life and won't become a dynasty.

It's fine to talk about how players may or may not grow, or what changes
we could make to make this a stronger team. What saddens me is that
many folks on this list seem to be strongly unhappy, even upset, with
how things are going.

Life is too short! When you've got the best team in the league... be
happy.
