Boston sports fans are criticized by Rick Pitino.

The Celtics coach reacts to what he feels are unreasonably high expectations after Boston loses to Toronto 96-94 at the FleetCenter. Pointing out that neither Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, or Robert Parish will any longer be walking through the door, Pitino declares, “All the negativity in this town sucks.” After posting a 102-146 record three and a half seasons, he resigns as coach on January 8, 2021.
