Celtics Stuff Live! Tonight-Postgame, W/Jeff Hickman.

[JB]

Expecting a series clinching win in Atlanta tonight, we will present a  
post game show.

Can the Celtics duplicate the wondrous effort they displayed on  
Wednesday?

Aside from a more effective defensive approach to Bibby and Johnson, I  
loved the passing to the open man and Pierce's creative drives that  
seemed to always find a seam, never into traffic.

  Have they "found their collective playoff souls," as Steve Buckley  
conjectured in today's Herald?

Here is an accolade from the usually restrained Bob Ryan from today's  
Globe:

     They played killer D. They had an exquisite inside-outside  
offensive balance. They shared the ball. They got timely bench lifts  
from the likes of Leon Powe (a 9.9 on the Lovability Scale, isn't  
he?). It all looked very familiar and logical.

     The Stars shone. If the 1986 Larry Bird had played a game such as  
Paul Pierce submitted in Game 5, we'd be busy composing sonnets and  
commissioning statues in his honor. Pierce was all over the stat sheet  
from the beginning, and what I especially loved was the way he set the  
tone for the offense by combining strong (and ambidextrous) moves to  
the hoop with a velvety outside touch. He rebounded with great relish  
and he passed beautifully. That 50-foot outlet pass to a speeding  
Rajon Rondo as he came down with a second quarter rebound was a Bird- 
like play if I've ever seen one.

I remember three or four times this season, the same regression and  
rejuvenation, usually following a practice, when there hadn't been one  
for a while. Hats off to Doc.

Our guest tonight will be talk show veteran Jeff Hickman, formerly of  
"Celtics pride."
