Joe, have you been hanging out with Way of late?  Go to early in the 4th (or 
late 3d) when it's 86-86, Indiana having made up a 7 point halftime deficit.  
The 2000-01 Celtics lose that game, no question in my mind whatever.  The 
01-02 Celtics win it.  It isn't a 20 point whupping of the Lakers in LA; it 
isn't a season sweep of Philly, but it is better than we have seen in some 
time.  How often is it going to happen?  About 25-50% more often than it 
happened last year.
