Another uneventful warm summer day. Nothing  of interest on the Tennis Channel. This evening we are watching game three of the best 4 of 7 NBA (basketball) championship series, which is pitting the Boston Celtics against the Golden State Warriors . I'm of course rooting for the Celtics, having grown up in the Boston area . I remember attending one game in a seat close to the court, and seeing Bob Cousy, Bill Russell and Bill Sharman. playing together--three of the team's greats :)
