Heh.  Again, they couldn't have known or guessed, or been better 
prognosticators.  No, they have to be "diehard, gooey fans".  Impossible 
that they were somehow smarter.  No matter.

More importantly, the Celtics played well today.  Unfortunately, so did 
Philly.  Walker was on fire early, Pierce ended up with a good line, and 
everyone else played pretty well, though Strick didn't have an great game,
  he played good D on AI.  Delk, also, was ineffective on offense, but 
played enthusiastic defense.  He made a number of mental errors while he 
was in, though, and I was glad to see him leave.  Did anyone catch Waltah 
playing in the crunch time minutes?  Amazing, but I might have kept him in 
there, too.  As someone wisely mentioned earlier, many people, including 
me, were wrong about guys like McCarty, Williams, and even Kenny.  It has 
come to the point where Waltah was open for a three, but passed it up in 
favor of passing it in to the paint.  A traditionalist would have been 
appreciative, but all I could think about was that McCarty ought to have 
taken that good, open look for the bomb.  Years ago, I wouldn't even want 
McCarty touching the ball, much less taking a long-range shot.  Speaking 
of turnarounds... .
