	Finally, a Celtic fan admitted it. The Sixers and the Bucks
do not really give the Celts a fight in the Eastern Conference. 
Does it mean the Celts have an easy path to the finals?
or in other words, they play in an easy conference?

	To me, it is just nonsense to say the Lakers have an
easier route to the finals. The Nuggets and Rockets give
as much problems to the Lakers as the Sixers and Bucks
give to the Celts (though it's not that much). Remember,
we are not talking about the 76ers of 1983 (one of the
greatest team ever.) Malone has already lost his fire.
