Re: nothing changed...

It looks like to me that the Nets are better fundamentally right now.  A number
of their baskets come off our failure to block out.  When we were within 1 and
could have taken the lead, you could see the fear and frustration in Rodney's
eyes and the behavior of Antoine and Erik Strickland.  Me, I am still proud of
this team, but the Nets just look like they are a better team right now and
nothing can be done about that.

Hope springs eternal!  But, blocking out, defending the backdoor cuts, moving
without the ball, playing 48 minutes and making open shots wins these games.  I
don't know if any adjustments can be made.  Simple fact is, if you trade Anderson
and Kidd, we have won this series 4-1.

I am very proud of this team and the run it has made.  But, unless a miracle
occurs, I think tomorrow is the end of the line.  Win or lose, I will still be
waving my Celtic flag high!

Peace,

Bentz

Celtics, Nets, Satch Sanders, KC Jones et al today.  He asked my client if that
was ok.  He played at South Carolina and is the color commentator on Gamecock
