I understand that there is really nothing on the line but I can't see why the game has to be ten times less competitive than pickup games at local playgrounds. It seemed that the East was constantly setting up Dr. J for spectacular 1 on 1 moves to the hoop. Perhaps that is the purpose of the contest. If so, I wish it were advertised as the "All Hot Dog Game". GO CELTICS!!! Ken Glass houxf!glass
