Almost game time.
Doc isn't coaching today due to a death in the family. His father in law passed away. Tony Brown will be coaching.
Have the Celtics feed so that is very nice!! We need this game as much for our confidence and for the kids learning HOW to win games as for the playoff run!!

They have a segment on big men at the half and Chief just said barring any serious injury the sky is the limit for Perk and Al. I value his opinion because he was one of the great ones!
