I need to start off with a few declarations for the record (what exact set of records I am referring to, I’m not sure, but for the record nonetheless). I want to add a slightly contrived analogy about the stock market investors and Celtic fans. I will throw in some rare very positive comments about the Celtics - hard to believe for sure. Perhaps then people will see I have a single slice of optimism remaining in my wretched pessimistic soul. Finally, I will spell-out a hard to admit, but truthful, confession about my state of mind regarding Boston Celtic basketball.
