And at the risk of sounding like my cynical great uncle, Peter May.....the
cynical gene is dominant....remember how well everything went when the
apparently new, improved, and rejuvenated Kenny Anderson took the court for
the Celtics last year? These games mean nothing...the pressure's off...it's
over for everyone except Jones. I seriously agree, Bill, with your serious

the Wizards.
