Thanks, Bill, for the usual great coverage of the game. Glad to see
you're human, though - you keep calling these guys the Heat! Hope it
wasn't a cut-and-paste job from the game against the Heat! in which
case, I would've to take your comments with a pinch of salt. 

All you Celtics fans who actually get to see the games, how's Tabak been
doing? Is he worth keeping or do we cut him out in favour of Knight and
DeClerq? With all the discussion about Geiger of late, is he really so
much better than Stewart or Ratliff? I don't see us getting any big men
through the draft; it will have to be free agency. 

Any news on Popeye Jones' rehabilitation?
