Many thanks to the Snilch, and the Snilch's amazing wife, Janine. They hooked our friend Tim and me up with excellent seats to tonight's C's/King's tilt, and it came with the additional bonuses of A) their company and B) the endless amusement that results from watching many and varied people try their hand at the arcade hoops shooting game at Sullivan's Tap.None of those folks, however, could match the prowess of Eddie House, who rang up a career-high eight three pointers. From our vantage point in section 21, he appeared to be shooting by feel, as we in the basketball business put it. Which is to say: those of us who like to express our sporting admiration by way of dodgy sexual metaphors.
But on a night like this, our thoughts inevitably turn to Gino. Though the dancer in the American Bandstand video that often crowns a Celtics blowout win passed away nearly 20 years ago, his spirit remains--to recall, as our friend Ken would point out, those nights in Montreal. Peace out.
