I think we are getting too much ahead of ourselves talking like this.
Part of the reason we were successfull on defense was that the Sixers
don't have a good perimeter game or shooters. We were able to
*collapse the pocket* and dare them shoot from outside. The Cs gave
wide open shots to Mckie, Snow and others not named Iverson.

I think the Pistons series will be a different challenge. Barry,
Willamson, Atkins, uncle Cliffy, Damon Jones, Stack can shoot from
outside - spreading the floor - we may not be able to *collapse the
pocket* that frequently.

However, I feel good about our chances, about our team's HEART and
HUNGER. Celtics in 5.
