Keep Hope Alive

[Gene Kirkpatrick <gkir@tjc.tyler.cc.tx.us>]

What Bird and his Pacers just accomplished should give the Celtics hope.
A well-coached team, without a first or second team All-NBA player,
nearly beat the Bulls at their peak.  It sparks an interesting return to
whether this is a players league or a coaches league.

Anyway, Pitino has one or two, maybe three who could land on the top
two or three All-NBA squads soon; and with his coaching the Celts might
overachieve as the Pacers did.

Just a thought.  But, what Bird did to and for that whole team nearly beat
what Jordan could do with his team.

Utah overly over-confident)
