So, I guess I don't have to say anything about Boston's victory
over Philly on Wednesday night.  Once again, it was a team effort
with the emphasis squarely on defense.  Somehow, Larry Bird became
the hero after having a lousy shooting night.  The old adage says
the great ones do that ...

If someone had asked me to predict a Boston win in 5 games, 
I certainly wouldn't have done it.  In fact, I may have said
Philly will win in 5, not Boston.

Therefore, I'm not even going to try to forecast the LA-Boston
re-match.  Suffice it to say it will be great to see them go at it
again.  Forget LA's 44 point win over Denver Wednesday, that was
an overmatched (and injured) Denver team.  Besides, LA knew that
Boston won and they could smell the Atlantic from Inglewood.

Put the pink tofu and soyburgers away folks; 
it's time for some serious basketball.

Go Boston!
