Dorine,

As my Mom would say, "tell it like it T-I-is"!!

If I had said it, I would have been tarred and feathered.  I said last week
that they now believe in themselves and their ability to pull out the close
games at the end.  I believe this victory will serve that purpose even more.

The real test will come when we meet teams who have strong centers.  Thus
far, we have struggled with the likes of Brad Miller.  What happens when we
meet the cream of the crop may well provide us with a true indication of how
far we are capable of going this year.  If Battie and VP can hold their own,
we may be alright.  They don't have to outplay Shaq or Duncan, but if our
duo can average 18-20ppg and 15rpg, we may pull some more shockers.

Cecil (fan of YOUR FIRST PLACE CELTICS)
