The Celtics bench?  Stronger than the Lakers?  That's as funny as the Celtics
in 7.  The Celtics do have good back court depth with Ray Williams but who do
they have to backup McHale, Parrish or Bird?  Greg Kike(sp?)?  When he's out on
the court he looks like a little kid lost in a candy store.  Sorry, but the
Celtics bench will be they're downfall in this series.  Parrish, McHale and
Bird will not be able to repeat their Game 1 performances (required for a Celt
victory) 3 out of the next 4 games.

Remember the Celtic-Piston series and how exhausted the Green's big men were
from having all that court time?  Why?  No bench.
