Years ago a young Billy Martin was known as "Casey's Boy" (Casey Stengel was 
his manager at the time). You could call EW "Obie's Boy" except it would be 
politically incorrect and not taken in the same spirit as with Martin. But 
when Obie was desperate for rebounding it was EW who took a HUGE step up. EW 
has been an invisible rebounder since rejoining the Celtics but he has 
completely changed that and made it a priority during our win streak. Let's 
hope it continues. I was one of EW's critics and I still cringe when he 
shoots threes but if he can chip in 6 or 7 rebounds per game I can appreciate 
him more.
