nope, i remember the ones towards the end, probably 85 on (born is 78). used to go to my grandmother's house (a big celtics fan, still is, she's loving this year) and watch the games with the sound down and johnny on the radio. its a different world now. i bet that the NBA looks back on those games now as a lost opportunity to make more money and wishes tgat they knew then what they know now about marketing and maximizing advertising profits.
if we were on the west coast, we'd be complaining right now that the games are too early.
tonight's gonna be a tough one. hope they win, but i'm fishing tonight so I won't see it.
