I was flying though on the way home. They'd have to key the jet.
It was great. It reminds me of the time I was in Seattle, at the airport,
waiting to fly home. The Pats were playing the Broncos that night. The
night of the "safety" game. I went the airport early so I could watch the
whole game.
West of the Rockies, in a full airport restaurant, surrounded by fans of the
Broncos. There were only 4 people besides me cheering for the Pats. A
lady, like me flying home. A Rastafarian who picked the Pats because
everyone else was against them. And a family friend of Lawyer Milloy who
worked at the airport.
I KNEW they would win against San Diego. In Seattle that night, I felt very
strongly they would win THAT game, despite their history with the Denver. I
don't know why. And when they took the safety, I just knew it was going to
end the way it did.

What ever happened to Danny Ainge's three year plan where Jiri Welsch
and Raef LaFrenz were going to be pieces to a championship puzzle? I
recall some of you guys talking about the Celtics being in a great
position in three years when Ainge was hired. I know you guys are
going to hate me for saying it, but this team has never recovered since
trading Antoine Walker. How do you rate Danny Ainge's performance for
the past three years?
I say C-.

It's all relative. For most basketball people, it's advance the ball
quickly to get a good shot before the defense has a chance to set up.
Uptempo to O'Brien was to get the shot up as quickly as possible and save
the other team the trouble of playing any defense.

Ahhhh...the unlamented Jimmy Rodgers. That brings back memories. He was
not a very good coach.

Thanks for filling in the details Neil. I thought it was against the
Knicks, but not quite sure which year it was. Seems like you remember that
moment and felt what I felt.
It was so weird. By 1989, the C's were no longer considered legit
contenders. Bird and McHale had been too ravaged by injuries. The C's did
not enough depth either. Yet, they were still considered the team you
didn't want to have to play because of their experience. They definitely
should have beaten the Knicks that season.

I honestly don't understand how you think that wasn't showboating. Here
is a hint for you. Go back and look at the play again, within the
context of the game, not just the highlight. Listen for the whistle.
Then count how many steps he takes after the whistle. Look around at
all the other players on the court. And then ask yourself, knowing that
everyone stopped and the ref had waved the play, how many points would
that dunk have been worth?
Zero.
And he knew it.
Its all in the replay. 9 other players had come to a stop, play wise.
1 didn't.
