Don Cheney on Gaudy Regular Season Records

Don Chaney has this warning for Doc Rivers:

``I was on a Celtics team (1972-73) that won 68 games and didn`t win the title. What you have to be careful of is shooting for as many wins as possible during the regular season and then losing your edge in the playoffs. I think that happened to Dallas last year and Portland in '91. It's also what happened to us in Boston, too.``

Yeah, but Havlicek injured his shoulder against the Knicks in the ECF's that year.

Oh well.

Cheney's point is nonetheless well taken.
