Thank the Refs

[Dan Forant <dforant1@nycap.rr.com>]

The refs said, hey Rickky we're not going to let you screw this one up,
your out of here. Probably the best thing that could have happened to us.
The assistant coach substituted and used the minutes very well helping to
produce a win. The 2nd unit didn't play much as a unit in the 2nd half.
McCarty didn't touch the floor and Barros was limited to 13 minutes. 

Battie plays better when he's out there with some starters. Pots should
start all games. 

What's with Walker. He's in a Super Slump. 4-16 & 0-5 on the 3's shooting. 

10 players in tonite's rotation. Pierce tied a record for 9 steals, tying
him with guess who? Bird, and they said he was slow. 

Game honors to Anderson and Pierce but special honors to assistant coach,
whatever his name is. 2500th win for winningest franchise in NBA history. 

Let's see, maybe Rick will come down with the flu or choke on a Philly
Steak before game time.
