And I, of course, was dead wrong. I predicted the Bulls by twenty...over by
halftime. I came home from work, checked the score when the Celts were down
by 20, grimaced, and went out to dinner with my wife. I expected to come
home to a phone call from my son who's a huge Bulls fan. He gets that from
his mother. Instead I came home to the final few exquisite seconds. I
thought the inexperience would kill the Celtics. I was gloriously wrong.
Yes, Pippen wasn't there, but so what? The average age of the Celtics is,
what....22? This is a big win for these kids. They now believe they can
win, that their efforts will bring positive results, and that their coach's
system might actually work. This is a huge confidence builder. At least it
is for me. All right....I was wrong. I couldn't be happier. Now,...I look
forward to being wrong again, and again, and again.
