The time left on the clock when the 'Cats scored their first basket (and their first points) of the game last night. As Matt just commented, the '85 Bears may be foregoing the hibernation ritual to play basketball this winter.

It was Augustin who said of the Celtics after the Bobcats stunned them last January, “If you don’t back down to them, they fold.’’ But on a night when the Celtics opened up the Garden for a campaign that’s been labeled by coaches and players as championship or bust by holding their opponents to the lowest-scoring output in the five-year history of the franchise, it was Brown who admitted after being dealt a 92-59 beating that the Bobcats consisted of “a lot of guys scared to death.’’ The Celtics were as intimidating as they had been the last two seasons. Perhaps more so, with the addition of the league’s misunderstood mascot for anger management, Rasheed Wallace.
