The Boston-Detroit series is now tied at 2.  Detroit played an excellent
game Sunday taking it right to the Celtics who looked a little exhausted
in the 4th quarter (but thats no excuse!).  Not even the luck of the 
Birdman was able to help the Celtics pull it out.  He had a free 18ft.
jumper with about 10 sec. left and missed it.  Oh well, can't make them
all the time.

Seems like the Celtics just don't have it lately.  They had a tough time
with the Cavs and are being pushed to the limit by the Pistons and with
the Sixers rested and hungry waiting down the road it could be a long
summer for the boys in green.

Celtics will take Detroit in 7 but get blown out by the Sixers 4-1.  So
let it be written; so let it be done.

P.S.  I can't wait to see Andrew Toney burn Danny "Cry Baby" Ainge for about
      30 points a game.
