Mixed emotions

This causes very mixed emotions.

The Celtics pulled out all the stops when their campaign to sign free agent forward Rasheed Wallace started last week. And the tactics paid off as Wallace committed to sign with the Celtics, a league source said yesterday.

There's is not a single NBA player for whom I'm less inclined to root than Rasheed Wallace. I don't like him - I don't like his appearance, I don't like what I perceive as his personality, or his past behaviors. I don't want to root for Rasheed Wallace.

But.

I think he certainly makes the Celtics a better team. And I like to root for the Celtics.

Mixed emotions...
