Yeah, Bill Walton almost sounded nostalgic about his days 
in green. Maybe it was the tapes they showed of Larry 
Bird's 60-pointer. Walton's play-calling was as partisan 
as even Tommy Heinsohn, and it was obvious he had been 
hanging around all day with the Celtics players and 
coaching staff.

Whenever the Celtics played poorly last night, he sounded 
miserable and disillusioned. I remember we were down by 
six at one juncture and Walton made it sound like we were 
getting blown out by fourty six. And whenever Toine or 
anyone did anything right, he was full of joy and praise. 

Well he was a Boston Celtic after all. They made a big 
deal about how he didn't score much for the Celtics, but 
in his day he was to team basketball what Jason Kidd is 
now.

Maybe with Philly's pick we'll have an outside shot at 
his son Luke....if the NCAA freshmen, prepsters and Euros 
fill up the lottery round.


p.s. Get well soon Michael.
