I hope he isn't foolish enough to promise a championship in a certain
number of years.  But he just about has.  Or at least that they will be
contenders, which is as much as you can promise.  For this year, yes,
entertainment and competition.  But for the next few years, he has said
that he thinks the Celtics will be contending for the title.  I think that
is his intention and this is the very beginning of his plan.  Its hard to
be patient, but what choice do we have?  We won 15 games last year.
