Well, well, well. Where are those Pistons now? What
happened to the invincible 76ers in Boston yesterday? I'll
tell you what happened. They played the World Champions.
That's what happened.
Whoever wrote that the Celtics play only as hard as they
have to was right on target. They're like the Raiders.
They rarely covered the spread but they posted the best
overall record.
PARISH!!! He has been the key lately. I've never seen
Chief play so well. He's hitting the boards like a man
possessed. He usually disappears in the big games. It's a
good thing he's picking up the slack because Larry is
playing like Rambis lately. Danny Ainge is improving with
every game. Let's face it, he's in there as a shooting
guard or off-gaurd, whatever you want to call it. He's
shooting over fifty percent and playing blue-collar D. He
could be an unexpected key in the future. Maxwell is
still not back. He looks like he's very conscious of of
his knee. I hope he gets it together soon. Wedman is always
hot. Talk about your instant O.
How many turnovers did the Celtics have against the
Pistons on Friday? With a few minutes left, they had only
four. That is truly amazing.
Can I believe my eyes? Did Maurice Cheeks make three bad
plays when the game was at a critical point in the 4th
qrtr? This guy has always been one of my favorite players
because he makes so few mistakes. He must be joining
Larry in a "Let's Show the World We're Human" kick. The
refs must have passed the word on Breadtruck Barkley that
he's still a rookie and should be treated as such. He is
getting a lot of poor calls. It's too bad that a star
system prevails when refs blow a whistle. The Star always
get the benefit of the doubt.
I'm not even going to comment on the Laker-Nugget "game"
on Saturday.
The Knicks get Ewing? As if that division wasn't already
too tough. They are going to love him in NY. He better
improve his free throws or he could turn NY against him
real quick. On second thought, the NY fans are pretty easy
going...With two near-legitimate centers already, the
Knickerbockers will surely sell one for a
Speaking of Free Throws, would you like to have your money
on the line with a Laker on the line?

/* */ > Well, well, well. Where are those Pistons now? Most likely sitting at home, watching Boston dismantle Philly on TV. I am honestly surprised that it has been this easy for the Celts thus far. With Philly's quick destruction of the Bucks, I thought this series would be a real struggle. Philly did manage to avoid elimination on Sunday, but it will be nearly impossible for them to win 2 at the Garden. > PARISH!!! He has been the key lately. Very true. As someone commented, he usually disappears in the big ones, but thus far he has handled Moses quite well. My hat off to him. There has also been a lot of talk about Ewing going to the Knicks. I would like to know the opinions of you netters out there - will the Knicks put Ewing at power forward and keep Cartwright, or will they play Patrick at center and keep Bill as a backup, or trade him for a big forward, or WHAT??? Your opinions on this matter are appreciated. Mark Tompkins MBT Co. epsilon!mb2c!mlt

I disagree ... it is a struggle and Philly is capable of winning in 7 !! >> PARISH!!! He has been the key lately. >Very true.

My hat has always been off to him ... dig out your tape of last year's biggest game ... game 7 of the NBA Championship against Dancing Barry's Team ... in the fourth quarter it was THE CHIEF that took the game over. I think Robert has been underrated for years. As goes the Chief ... so goes the Celtics. Regards, -- Pete Williamson "By hook or by crook, we will !!" ... #2
