	  Well, right after Kevin McHale scored 56 points to set a new
     Celtic single game scoring record, I told you that wouldn't sit too
     well with Larry Bird.
     Kevin, you sure are great but let me introduce you to the
     the boss around here.  As McLain Stevenson used to say,
     Hello Larry.

     BOOM.

     60 big ones a few days ago. (22/38 FG, 15/16 FT, the Celt's last 16 pts.)

     He got 31 more last night. I think he's scored over 30
     points in 14 of his last 15 or 16 games. Better keep
     shootin' Bernard. Number two tries harder.

	  As soon as I can I'm going to get a satellite dish and become
     a full-time Bird-Watcher.
