All this panic is the same stuff that happened last year at the same time ... sorry, but I just can't get drawn into the pessimism or "realism" or whatever label you want to put on it. This is just as good a team, (if not better), as last year, and I have just as much faith in them as I did then. They've already proven on multiple occasions that they can beat ANY team in the NBA, and that they CAN "flip the switch" ... the negative, doubting, pessimistic, end-of-the-world threads have been saturating this blog, (and others), but I just can NOT be a part of it. I love this team, I know it's potential, I SEE it's abilities, and I have FAITH that they can win it all. Call me an optimist all you want when it comes to the Celtics, just don't call me "blind".
