Assessment So Far

[Dan <dforant1@nycap.rr.com>]

Not following the NBA closely last year because of the Celts poor attempt
at playing basketball, this year watching all Celt and some selected
others, I have come to the conclusion that the Eastern Conference teams
have made great strides to better themselves. Looking down at the teams it
would be near impossible for us to make the playoffs. That may not be all
bad. The team is very exciting and talented. Were probably just 2 players
away from playoff time. I look at games that could have been won (if they
were lost) like the Nets game. Last year it would not have happened. This
year, a few breaks, a few less lousy calls by officials, less 2 ejections,
we could have beat the Nets on their court. The message is getting around
the league, come prepared and sweat when playing the Celts.
