Infamous milestone

Good Afternoon. With the victory over Chicago last night, the C's are 2 wins away from breaking the franchise record of 18 straight. They have the Knicks tomorrow evening and then the Elton Brand-less 76er's on Tuesday. Many in the media had high hopes for Philly this year, but they have not looked like a team on the rise. After the Philly game, we go on a West coast road trip. 1st up, the Lakers on Xmas in a game I think we all had circled on our calendar since the day the schedule was released. After L.A., we face two struggling teams: the Warriors on 12/26 and then Sacramento on 12/28. We wrap up the West coast swing at the Rose Garden vs Brandon Roy, Greg Oden & the Trailblazers. I found an interesting story by John Hollinger on ESPN.com today. It chronicles Shaquille O'Neal's free throw struggles. Shaq is 8 misses away from becoming only the 2nd player in league history to miss 5,000 free throws. That's not a typo-5 grand. Go to the NBA section on Espn.com to find the full story. Enjoy the rest of your snowy Saturday Celtic's fans.
