It seems that many folks are not Celtics fans !!

But please don't jump the gun and assume that Boston will play

poorly against the Sixers or the Lakers, based on their struggles

with Detroit or Cleveland. First of all, Boston may not get by

Detroit ... it's now a 3 game mini-series ... anybody can win.

If they do advance, we can look forward to basketball's "Premier

Event" ... Boston / Philly. We haven't had one of these for quite

a while ... should go the full seven games ... although Philly looks

especially awesome right now. The winner of this series should

certainly win the NBA Championship, though they could suffer an

emotional letdown playing "Dancing Barry's Team". (Of course,

Kareem is Kareem ... LA could make a series of it yet !!). But don't

count the Green out of it. They never play any harder than they

have to. If they get by Detroit, expect them to play at the top of

their game. If they play at the top of their game, watch out !!
