Celtics Having Fun

1990-91 Boston Celtics

"I'm not going to fall into that trap," said Ford, when asked if the Celtics can be any better than this 23-4 surge. "I'm just enjoying it."

Larry Bird himself is surprised at this 23-4 and these wins that seem to come easier and easier. "We are all a little surprised on how things have turned out this year," he said. "We didn't know how good we were. Sometimes we go out and things are really easy and sometimes they aren't, but it seems as if we're gaining confidence every game."

And now, if we can force an oxymoron, Boston Garden has become a fun house. "Me and Brian and Reggie and Kevin Gamble all can push it up," said the rookie Brown, "and we're having fun doing it. It's what we do best . . . running."

"It's just a lot more fun this year," said Lewis. "Everybody's getting the ball."

Jess Kersey, as usual, was right with his call. It's "you guys," -- the Celtics -- who are having all the fun. The rest of us, from ref to fan, are breathless from keeping up with it all.
