I'm not an Ainge fan, or a Celtic fan for that matter, but if anyone in
the NBA is being protected it's Dantley and Erving, in that order.
You know, run over people and shoot 2 free throws, 3 1/2 steps to the
basket etc. etc.  Boston wins because they play basic basketball, they
run and they hit the open man.  It's simple, if you don't get down the
floor against Boston, you lose.

The REAL Eastern team will be back soon now that the Knicks have this
year's first pick, and neither Philly nor Boston will be a factor anymore
anyway.
