Re: Predictions

49 games sounds great to me, but how many games did we win by fewer than 5
points.  Antoine and Paul were terrific in making key hoops down the
stretch.  If less than a dozen baskets rimmed out at crunch time, we could
easily be 38 and 44.  I don't want to take anything away from the C's
because they won those games, I just want to point out the slim margin
between success and failure in the NBA
