Re: Celtics
Maybe he's always had the high IQ and the instincts, but now it seems as if he all of a sudden has the quickness to read and react to them too.
My dad, who was lucky enough to be at the game tonight, said he saw an interview with Big Al in which he basically said he'd do anything to stay and play in Boston. Basically coming out and begging them not to trade him. Like you said, this is a great thing.
They look great right now. But it comes and goes with this team. It seems as if every time they have a great run like this (and have us all feeling good about the team), they go out and put up 3 or 4 stinkers in a row. I mean, they were 1-7 before this winning streak, including an inexplicable loss at Charlotte and a 24-pt. beating at the hands of the Knicks. I'd love to see some consistency here.
I guess what I'm saying, as dumb as it may sound, is that I think this a very important game at Charlotte tommorrow night. It's imperative that they come out focused, play smart basketball, and not overlook the Bobcats. They've got a bunch of tough Western Conference road games coming up. And, being a young and right now very confident and talented team, this is a classic spot where it may be easy to take for granted a not-so-good opponent.
