Lines: 31 If there is anything more surprising than Denver taking one game from Dancing Barry's Team, it's the Celtics taking a three game to zero lead in the Eastern Conference Finals against the second best team in the NBA !! Unbelievable !! Thus far, Boston's defense has been like a blanket. And for the third time in a row, Philadelphia has not been able to break the one hundred point barrier. Andrew, Charles, and Moses played quite well, but this time J and Maurice had sub-par performances. Thus far, the Celts have simply been on FIRE; a complete team. But if any team is going to be the first to come back from a 3 - 0 deficit, the Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers have as good a shot as any. We cannot forget how easily this team dismissed the Bucks in four. This is essentially the same team that "kicked ass and took names" in the 1983 Playoffs (plus Charles Barkley). I cannot imagine them being swept. But I sure could enjoy it !! We'll know tomorrow !! Regards, -- Pete Williamson "By hook or by crook, we will !!" ... #2
