I suppose I could continue doing that.  I usually look at those things 
on my own anyway.  The only reason I said something publicly this time is 
that it was a particularly friendly schedule for the Celtics for the next 
week and a half, and I don't want people to get too excited if the Celtics 
beat a couple of those good teams and end up 8 and 7.  Most likely there 
will be a letdown in December, with more travel and tough opponents, and 
with the C's still learning, and still with an unsettled roster.  

When they start consistently challenging the good teams and beating 
mediocre teams on long road trips or back-to-back nights, then we'll know 
they've arrived.  Before that, we shouldn't read too much into success or 
failure.
