Now he is the handiest extra man on an exceedingly deep team that chanced to lose just one home game this interminable season. Bostonians are poised to measure Bird, Robert Parish, Kevin McHale, Dennis Johnson, Danny Ainge and company against any club of memory or mythology, from Chamberlain's Philadelphia 76ers and Willis Reed...
