Re: Boston moves up some more!

["Josh Ozersky" <jozersky@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This years' playoffs is a booby prize, as the guy in the Herald
said today.  If the Celtics are lucky enough to lose many more
games, they will be rewarded with a top-six pick.  The last one
we had netted us Antoine Walker.  The ninth pick that same year
(one of the best ever) was Kerry Kittles.  Only a few games
separated the teams that picked both players....That is the reward for
a little timely losing in the NBA.
