So Then Why Did We Sign Starbury?

Game 6. NBA Finals. Staples. The Celtics are up 3-2. The series started in LA. Boston took game 2, the Lakers game 4. Otherwise, home court has held true. It’s a tight game. Midway through the third, the Lakers own a six point lead, 59-53. Neither team can throw it in the ocean.

Doc summons Stephon Marbury to the scorer’s table. A minute later he’s in the game. Three, two, three, dish for a dunk, dish for a three. Lakers respond with but two freebies from the stripe. Celtics close out the quarter with a 24-5 run, building a 12-point lead. Starbarius remains in the game for the duration. Celtics win banner 18 going away.

Oh yeah.

That’s why we signed him.
