CELYS WIN, THANKS TO #7!!!

[Gil Moreno <celtic_nut@go.com>]

I have never been a Kenny Anderson.  Though this may change as we enter the Eastern Conference Finals.  After tonights game though I found myself chering for the much maligned Point Guard from New York.  He kept the ship afloat while the co-captains sat on the pine with 5 fouls a piece.  Coupled with a pair of Rodney Rogers baskets the Celts erected an 8 point lead that proved to be the cushion that they needed to keep themselves in the game.  Then after Antoine picked up his 6th foul it was Kenny to the rescue again, another clutch basket with Chucky Atkins and Cliff Robinson in his face with a minute to go in the game.

My hat's of to Kenny.  Being "the Man" wherver he played for in the past, he made the supreme sacrifice of accepting the role of a supporting player at the beginnning of the season. I truly believe now that the Celtics would not be where they are now if not for Kenny.  I was one of those on this list that refused to believe that he still had it in him.  He may be a step slower but his heart and desire to win have remained the same.  He still is a big time player, an integral part of this teams future.

If only he would accept a paycut after next season...
