Has anybody yet to see that shot? That has got to rank right up there with Reggie's 8 points in 10 seconds as some of the most miraculous finishes to a game that I've seen.

Now tell me something else ... how in the WORLD do you screw something like that up? It was only 1.8 seconds to waste. Any ten year old could have kept it away from the Celts.

Still, big time congrats (and luck) to that rookie for draining the shot. He's like an overnight celebrity now!

...kind like how that Lithuania player had a 3-pointer at the last play of the game in the semi-finals at the Olympics versus USA, which would've eliminated America from the tourney.... only he didn't sink it! :(

But, yes, it was a great an unbelievable shot -- his only 3 points of the game; his only 3-pointer of the season so far.

...have u noticed neither you nor I have mentioned "this guy's name!?"... I didn't catch it.

You're right SC ... he was an instant hero, as I had mentioned, but yeah ... I don't remember his name either. Thanks BC for the reminder. Maybe he'll just have to do it again.

Yeah, it's too bad for the Celtics, they'll need a "miracle" on a much higher level to turn that team around and to save Rick Pitino. I mean this is a team earlier this year, that lost by 18 points on their very own home floor to the Chicago Bulls of all teams.

Luckily for them though, they're in the Eastern Conference where they're one game back of Orlando for the 8th playoff seed.

Yup, shows you how weak the EC is at the moment.
