Re: The Riley Wiggle

[Josh Ozersky <josh_ozersky@yahoo.com>]

I saw that Riley wiggle too.  Tommy and Mike didn't comment, but I was
beaming.  What I loved most about this game was that it made me feel
like a freakin' genius.  First I dog Peter May for missing the
centrality of Kenny's bad play, and it appears in the globe the next
day.  Then I write about our slowed-down offense, and Tommy H.
addresses it throughout the show.  And now this from today's globe.

Anderson emerged from those practices energized. ''I was just dragging
up the court before,'' he said. ''I wasn't pushing the ball or
nothing.''

Ah, I know, kenny, I know.  Now we have to see if we can run like this
when the other team actually scores some points.
