Celtics take Lakers
Memorial Day will take on a d if
ferent meaning for the Los Angeles
l-akers from now on Memorial I>ay
1985 will signify the death o f the
leakers at the hands o f the Boston
Celtics. Boston murdered them The
146-114 thrashing prompted Dick
Stockton, CBS commentator, to sug
gest. “ The Lakers should exorcise
themselves to prepare for the next
game.”
This final boils down to one factor:
physical east coast basketball against
west coast finesse. The Lakers want to
slide through the lane for layups with
out contact but the Celtics don’t play
that way. L .A . wants to kick out the
outlet pass for the fast break but
Boston loves to jam the rebounder
when he returns to the floor. T o put
it simply, Boston didn't allow L .A . to
penetrate the lane, and they took
away the L .A . break.
When Danny Aingc scores 15 first
quarter points, Scott Wedman hits I I -
f o r - ll from the field, and Quinn
Buckner hits a 20-foot jumper that
touches nothing but net, you must as
sume that it’s going to be a tough day.
K. C . Jones put the game in per
spective for his players when he
staled. "This game is not a matter o f
life or death, it’s more im portant."
The Celts took coach’s words to heart
and kept the Lakers from getting o ff
on their first period blitz. When the
clock slopped at the 4:26 mark o f the
first quarter, Boston owned a 26-12
lead Danny Ainge hit a 3-poinler at
the buzzer to give the Celts a 38-24
edge to close the period.
Robert Parish ran Kareem's 38-
year-old legs o ff repeatedly to boost
the Boston lead to 47-23 , 2 minutes
into the 2nd period. At 8:35, Kareem
picked up his 3rd personal foul a rd
Riley gave his big man a much needed
rest. "T h e C h ie f ’ took his first
breather o f the game when Kareem
moved to the pine.
K C . Jones made some strange
substitutions but each move turned
out to be the right move on this after
noon. Wedman entered (he game be
fore Maxwell, and Quinn Buckner
entered before Ray Williams. No
matter who came o ff (he bench for
Boston ot how, they produced.
There are no excuses this time,
la k e r fans. Boston and Bird didn't
get all the calls The 2nd period was
the killer for the lakers in this
game Boston had a 79-49 lead at the
half and they deserved it by their
play.
The Lakers could only knock I
point o ff the Boston edge after the
3rd period ended 108-79. Trading
baskets when you’re down 30 won’t
get it. Boston played a flawless game
throughout the 2nd half by utilizing
their defense to set up their offense.
They forced the lakers to play de
fense in the same manner that Denver
did in Game No. 2 o f their series
against L .A . The results were the
same: Denver bombed L .A . by forc
ing the Lakers to play both ends o f
the floor.
A few individual notes: Dennis
Johnson has permuted Danny Ainge
to expand his game and it has given
the Cells more fire-power in the back
court; Kurt Rambis cannot defend
Kevin McHale; Bob M cAdoo must
play more minutes with Kareem to
give L .A . more size in the front-court
to counter the size advantage that
Boston has with Bird, M cHale, and
"T he C h ie f’ ; K. C . Jones has to be
the most underrated coach in the
U .S.; and Jack Nicholson needs bet
ter timing on his towel throwing. He
should have made his throw after the
3rd period.
I wonder if Red sent flowers to the
la k e r offices in L .A .

pete at the National A A U finals
where they finished eighth. Players,
coaches and their families worked
many long hours on fundraising proj

various tournaments to represent

W ith a commitment to repeating
that effort, the eleven-and-under and

$7,000 per team which will provide
airfare, lodging, meals and registra
tion for the 12 team members and
their two coaches in July and August.
$500 will cover the cost o f sending one
player to the nationals and each fam
ily is working hard to meet that goal.
Sevedious Semington, Center D i
rector and coach for Ihe eleven-and-
under team, oversees the efforts of the
Parent Fundraising Committee and
the fundraising activities o f the play
ers. Currently, players are selling but-
tons, candy, T-shirts and collecting
