Geez Tom, as Danny Ainge said to Kevin McHale in the video "Season of the
Shooting Stars", "You stole my brain waves"!  Don't give up though, maybe
it's just an N.B.A phase like the "everyone is on cocaine" period that
preceded the great era you're talking about. By the way, watch out for the
guys who will give you grief for daring to talk about the "good ole days".
