Reasons to be optimistic ahead of game 7.

* There's no next game to worry about.  no reason to hold back on the effort or conserve energy for a next game.  team should be able to go all out on D and run the break on O. 

On a related note, no need to worry about getting T-ed up and being lost for the next game.  Obviously not having Perk is a big loss in this department, and all series I have been waiting to see how Perk plays without having to worry about picking up T #7.  Same for SHeed.

if Sheed were to get a T in game 7 - meaning just a normal T for arguing a call - is it an automatic ejection because of the suspension rule ?

I was wondering the same thing?

I sure hope not.

No I don't think so...if he gets an 8th T after that though he gets ejected.

Phil Jackson with this group just doesn't have much game 7 experience - he's never had a finals game 7 ....

also ............ i love that Bill Russell is around for these games and i was pleasantly surprised that he was so upset about the Celts bad loss in game 6.

godd stuff. good karma.
