Re: Bob Sura Highlights Celtics Problem

["Jim Meninno" <jim_meninno@hotmail.com>]

So, the top 5 teams in assists and 8 of the top 10 rebounding teams are 
in the Western Conference?  What does that say about the East?  Probably 
that they are a bunch of slow down, grind-it-out, low possesion, 
put-you-to-sleep teams.  I never loved that game.  Thank God the Celtics 
don't play like that, or I'd have to start watching hockey.  Seriously, 
though, the Celtics up-tempo style will make them look better in certain 
statistical categories than they actually are.  Take blocks.  They block 
a fair amount of shots, but then there are a lot of shots being taken to 
be blocked.

Regardless of all that, this is still a quote taken from a home town 
paper, by a player who just had one of his better nights and felt like 
talking a little trash.  Pitino might want to save a copy of that to put 
on Riley, Battie and Andrew's lockers, next time the Cavs are in town.  
But then Sura will be riding the pine most of the night, anyway.
