More good news

The Celtics are currently tied with Toronto and Milwaukee for second best 
record in the Eastern Conference.  Had they beaten Chicago last week they 
might be tied for first with Miami, instead (assuming that loss isn't what 
inspired them to the last 2 wins... you never know).  

A win tonight against Miami and the Celtics will be tied for first place 
in the conference after 1/8 of the season!

Battie played well last night and might be coming out of his slump.  He was 
credited with 4 blocks but probably affected more shots.  He stuffed Gill 
3 times in the 4th quarter, and blocked a layup as the only man back on a 
3 on 1 fast break.   Battie came up with 9 rebounds in just 27 
minutes.  More of that tonight would be nice, as Miami is likely to break 
the press more often than most teams, so we'll need Battie blocking.
