MG,
You obviously know Indiana basketball history. (btw, aren't you folks required to study the subject in school there?)
I checked with the Word of God Encyclopedia (wikipedia) and SK was born in Elkhart and attended Concord High there.

Celtics are looking good against the Raptors tonight. Watch the game on CSN and you get the superior Heinsohn, Gorman, Dickerson coverage! (Heinsohn is the best basketball announcer EVER.)

Heinsohn (Holy Cross, Class of 1956, 56-57 NBA Rookie of the Year) himself would tell you that the old Celtic's announcer, Johnny Most, was better. Johnny was an unapologetic "homer" and hated everyone who wasn't a Celtic. I used to love catching him on the radio when I was in the NE area. He had a voice that would scare a mafia don.
The Laker's Chick Hearn was the best I ever heard. Also, Marty Glickman, who did the NY Knicks years ago, was great.
All these guys are dead now. Bummer.

If the C's can pull of a four gamer over these two teams, it'd be awesome. I don't think it'd mean much in the long run, but at this point in the season with the ASG looming, that kind of winning streak would do wonders for morale.
I didn't fight a secret war in Nicaragua so you could walk these streets of freedom badmouthing Lady America, in your damn mirrored sunglasses!
The NY tabloids are on this hard. In the last 2yrs, NYK have lost a sexual-harassment lawsuit ($11.6mil) against Isiah Thomas, had an incident where Stephon Marbury had sex with a 22yr-old Madison Square Garden office-intern -- in his truck -- and now this.
It's probably BS, and a money-grab attempt by the chauffeur, but WTF?!

Don't want to speak too soon, but the Celts are SPANKING the Suns right now. Also, the TNT announcers blow. Give me my Heinsohn and Gorman.

Also, Rondo is destroying Nash. I know Nash is nasty, but this is awesome.
