Listening to Johnny Most, the radio voice of the Celtics on WRKO (680 am), is like that. All the opponents cheat and hot dog, all the Celts glide. Former Washington center Rich Mahorn is McFilthy, his teammate Jeff Ruland is McNasty. Rambunctious Boston forward M.L. Carr is competitive and inspirational, not vicious and untalented...

They tore through the Celtics there during the season, though Carr came off the bench at the end to throw in some 3-pointers that brought a smile to Bird even in defeat. He shook his head. "What a teammate," he said. Bird did not say player. "Boy, what a teammate." What a compliment...
