Celtics resurgence

[Alex Wang <awang@mit.edu>]

The Celtics are now 3-3 in their last six road games. Hopefully they
can translate their small road winning streak into more success at 
home against some better teams (Toronto, Seattle), followed by a tough
three game road trip (Charlotte, Miami, Orlando). In particular, the
games with Toronto, Charlotte, and Orlando are pivotal games against
fellow contenders for the last couple playoff spots.

The difference to me seems to be the return of the "old" Antoine,
who is hitting the offensive boards more (3 per game in 2000), passing
better, and making key plays. When he draws double teams, he forces
the other team to rotate on Pierce, who is learning to exploit them
with fakes. 

I haven't read anything about Griffin yet except that he is eligible
to come off the injured list. Hopefully he returns soon.
