Random Thoughts (May 2, 2008)

Random thoughts on consecutive days? Hey, it's the 63rd anniversary of Berlin surrendering to the Soviets (a precursor to the Cold War) and I'm in a happy mood... There is an interesting tidbit about a certain former Celtics coach at SI.com this morning. Yes, the Rick-tator is a rumored candidate to replace Avery Johnson as head coach of the Dallas Mavericks. Sorry Louisville, Denny Crum ain't walking through that door. I have no doubt that if Pitino takes the Mavs job, he will be back in college withing five years. Louisville probably isn't big enough for Slick Rick anymore, he'll take a better situation in Dallas than he had in Boston and when Billy Gillespie is forced out at Kentucky in a few years, Pitino can return to Lexington... Dave Magadan, tell those boys it's part of the game to score some runs... The C's will go for the jugular tonight and close out the Hawks. My biggest worry is that one of the young Hawks will try to draw Kendrick Perkins or, worse, KG into a confrontation that could lead to a possible suspension. Keep your cool tonight boys... Enjoy Evan Longoria tonight...
