Empty Seats

[Dan Forant <dforant1@nycap.rr.com>]

Maybe the rumors about Gaston selling have some credit. I said if the seats
go unfilled he'll want to test the value of the Celtic organization.


copied from somewhere on this earth:
The announced attendance of 11,551 -- there also appeared to be thousands
of no-shows -- was the smallest to see a Celtics game since Larry Bird's
third game in the NBA, when 7,335 turned out to see Boston play Cleveland
on Oct. 17, 1979.

Some in the crowd jokingly opened umbrellas when water dripped from the
ceiling onto the floor near the Celtics' basket, causing a four-minute
delay with 6:40 left in the fourth quarter. Ballboys wiped the floor at
every opportunity to keep it dry.
