Liz and I saw the abysmal Celtics get whooped and how by the Heat at the [TD Banknorth] Garden last night. O'Neal is a behemoth in real life. Wade is a superior talent. Payton was still pretty slick. Walker seemed like a clown; can't imagine why we ever rooted for him. However, the star performance of last night's game was Mr. NBA officiating himself: the incomparable Dick Bavetta! What a guy! Called the game so tight, there were no less than five (count 'em, 5) phantom fouls.
