Recent conference finalists (Milwaukee, Knicks etc.) have 
had similar All Star talents, but Pierce and Walker have 
shown better overall leadership and competitiveness than 
some of these others. Compared to the Sprees and Iversons 
and Robinson/Cassells etc., you have to be enthusiastic 
about the character of our maturing captains and the team 
chemistry as a whole. 

Seeing Walker too busy holding back tears to speak for 
three minutes at the final news conference showed me 
something. I had already concluded that the better team 
in the series had won, plain and simple. But its clear 
that the two captains will NEVER concede what appeared to 
be this obvious point.

They'll be back. Yes next year we might not get to enjoy 
eliminating Philly and Detroit (our two biggest Eastern 
rivals of the Bird era) en route to the conference 
finals. There could be other teams moving up, like 
hopefully Miami. Wouldn't it be a thrill having an 
opportunity to beat the crap out of "El Greasy One"? Of 
course, I'm not sure I'm talking to a real fan.
