Tonight's game against an injured -- Mashburn
and Lenard out -- and tired Miami team -- their
third game in a row -- is not a good indicator of where the Celtics
are in the grand basketball
scheme of things.  The C's are still defensively
a sieve at point guard and center, the two
most important positions.  The real key to
success will come, when Pitino addresses those
problems.
