Now that Maxwell is back for the Celtics, they are returning true to form with a first game blowout of the smaller Pistons. The Celtic front line is, for want of a better, less-trendy word, awesome. They'll get any team in trouble with their constant posting and crashing. Parish, McHale, Bird and Maxwell along the front is just too much for ANY team to handle. Bird is too much for anyone. He's getting kind of, well not kind of, extremely cocky. I like that competitiveness. Even though he blew my prediction about winning the Scorer's avg., he still finished second, only a couple of hoops behind Bernard. Elbow schmelbow. I'd pick him first anyday. All season long, knowledgeable hoopsters were talking about Boston and the Lakers going all the way, with a possibility of Milwaukee winning it all. I'm sure the snubbing chatter pissed off the 76ers. They are playing with intensity again. Look for the to kick the hell out of the overrated Bucks and give Boston a tough time. It seemed to me that the Bulls were robbed in their series with the Bucks. They got no calls at all. I haven't seen such one-sided refereeing in a long time. I didn't care who won and I still noticed the refs. That's when it's bad. Jawaan Oldham introduced himself to stardom with some of the most inpsired Defense I've seen in a long time. He is absolutely tough. No O though. Jawann "No O" Oldham. Shades of Ernie "No D" DeGregorio. Orlando Woolridge is a selfish ball hog. The Bulls are still not a smart team. They're too young. Akeem threw a nice soft punch at the Golem's ( Billy Paultz ) face on Sunday. If he could only hit his free throws that well. The Whopper came through. When he plays with Rich Kelley, they should get an award for the tandem least likely to look like ballplayers. Maybe Kurt Rambis and Phil Jackson of yesteryear could sub-in for them. The Lakers can't play defense as well as the Eastern teams. They might play it as well on occasion, but since they don't box out well, they give up too many second shots. It will be illustrated later when they play someone decent. See you in Boston.

Oh, please. Everyone knows that Boston is a bunch of weenies. They'll be lucky if they make it to Philly. -- Scott
