Re: stop desparation mode play

This is only part of their M.O. We played an injury, flu depleted team. It
was a blitzkrieg, bombs were connecting in LA. We did have a great inside
game going. Are we capable of stopping an offense? Yeah, they shot 41 for
88 but made them when they counted.

Bill Walton say's the Celt's are looking for a 3 game sweep. Yeah, I'm
looking to hit the lottery too. We'll be lucky to win 1. The flight from
Boston was a long one he say's, last time I looked it always was. But the
Celt's weren't peddling, but sitting and resting. Also a 1-1/2 hour bus
ride, another tiresome feat.  

Walker's got his offense going again, man is he quick, but 5 boards and a
*T* for taunting, wonderful, we have so much to brag about.

You could see the apple growing in Battie's throat for the tie. Clang,
short armed it. 4-8 FT's, awful. It Pitino fined these guy's for missed
FT's and TO's they could support the homeless in Boston.

What was our rotation, seems like a Battalion played for us again, LA used
7 players, Murdock played for 2 minutes. Taylor played 47, Hudson, 45, and
Piatowski 43, and they looked fresh in the 4th.  Our guys can't play that
much, they might earn a check.

A guard, Griffin, continues to out rebound our front court again. 

Danny Boy Forston..............forget it.

Next stop, sacrificed in Sacramento. Hope it's quick and painless.
