Thanks for the analysis and insight, Curt. Not much else to speak of, except for one Celtics home game next Wednesday at the Garden. Tip-off will be at 7:30. which seems a lot like the old glory days of the Celtics. Boy, even when the Celtics were winning all those championships I was still on the bench watching Don Larsen on the mound.
