Pervis' blocks & 'locks - and nickname

[Hank Murdoch <murdoch@exo.com>]

I love to see the return of Pervis' game.  I imagine it has to do with
(relatively) healthy knees - as well as the enthusiasm and hope brought by
the new regime.

Pervis has been one of my favorites since he came to the Celts, but
especially since he grew the Dreadlocks.  Boston has needed a little
character in it's athletes since the Red Sox got rid of Bill Lee (the
Spaceman - I never forgave them for that :-)

Someone recently brought up the subjects of nicknames for the Celt players.
Some of you who have been on the list for a while may remember my previous
suggestion regarding a nickname for Pervis - but here it is again:  since
Pervis'  recent maniacal block-fest will make opposing players Dread to go
to the basket, and given his current hair-style, why not "Dr. Dread".  (when
he swats away someone's shot, would those be "dreadblocks"?)

 At least it may invoke a little more dread in the opposition players than
"out of service"!
