I hear what you're saying, Gene - I miss the pure game, the blue-collar
game, the fundamentals and the dignity of yesteryear. But last night's
mouth-shooting wasn't all that much of an event.  The refs were having
trouble exhaling without blowing their whistles, and quickly lost control
of the game, the players, and the crowd.  I remember many on court
"conversations" during the old Celtics/Lakers and Celtics/Pistons matches
of the 80s that were far more heated than last night's... Good
competitive fire in the second half last night! Don't deprive yourself a
chance to see this squad.  A lot of fun, I think.
