Three more games at the Garden down, and three more victories for Boston. Lewis and friends have been looking quite unstoppable as of late. In their first of three recent matchups, they faced the "Dream" Hakeem Olajuwon and his Houston Rockets. Though Houston was the first team to reach 100 points, with Kenny Smith scoring to give the Rockets a 101-92 lead with 9:41 left in the third period, it was the Celtics who would emerge victorious by a final score of 172-162. Reggie Lewis exploded with 76 points while going two for two on free throw attempts, but also fouled three times. Dee Brown aided Boston's cause with 32 points, while also fouling thrice. The "Chief" Robert Parish finished with 26 points, and was also the only player on the Celtics to finish the game without committing a single foul. John Bagley finished with 22 points, while also committing three fouls (nine fouls between three players!) and Larry Bird finished with 16 points, while only committing one foul. Hakeem Olajuwon finished with 66 points, while also committing three fouls. Vernon Maxwell was not far behind with 51 points, while making his one and only free throw attempt of the game, but committed two fouls as well. Kenny Smith, who had been responsible for getting Houston to the 100-point mark, finished with 25 points and one foul, while going one for two on free throws. John Turner finished with only 12 points, but was the only player on the Rockets who finished the game without committing any fouls. Next up for Boston was the Orlando Magic, whose best scorer at that point was Nick Anderson; they had not yet drafted Shaq, and Dennis Scott (their second-best scorer before Shaq came along) was not on the starting lineup, instead serving as a reserve/bench player. Dennis never came into the game, but it is hard to believe he would have made much of a difference as the Celtics crushed a Magic team that was way out of their depth, taking it by a final score of 193-144. Boston got to 100 long before Orlando did, with Robert Parish scoring to give the Celtics a 101-74 advantage with 10:30 left in the third period; notably, he was also responsible for getting Boston to 100 against the Rockets, sinking the two-pointer that got them over that hump. On the other hand, Orlando did not reach 100 points until there were a mere 54 seconds left in the third period when Stanley Roberts scored to make it 142-101; the game was over by that point. Shortly after Orlando crossed the 100-point mark, Scott Skiles fouled out, becoming so far the first player in any of the "Tecmo Super NBA Basketball" simulations I've done to pull it off, and was replaced by journeyman Sam Vincent. (Ironically, Vincent started his career with the Celtics, and even won a championship with them in 1986.) Vincent finished with 14 points coming off the bench, while himself being responsible for two fouls. Reggie Lewis did not cross the 70-point mark or even make it to 70 this time, but did finish with 61 points while going one for three on free throw tries and committing one foul. John Bagley had a surprisingly great performance, finishing with 44 points while going four for six on free throws, but committed two fouls. For his part, Robert Parish--who had gotten Boston over the 100-point mark--finished with 36 points and two fouls of his own. Larry Bird had a respectable performance, easily his best thus far in any of these simulations, as he would finish the game with 24 points while becoming the only player on the Celtics to not commit any fouls. The foul-beleaguered Magic saw Nick Anderson lead the way from a scoring standpoint, finishing with 35 points while going one for three on free throws and committing a whopping four fouls (which is to say, he himself was in jeopardy of potentially fouling out, just as his teammate Scott Skiles had). Interestingly, the Magic had not one but two players who finished the game without committing a foul: Stanley Roberts--who had gotten the Magic over the 100-point mark--finished with 32 points, going two for four on free throws and committing no fouls, while Jeff Turner finished with a mere 6 points, yet did not foul either. It is quite ironic that the first team thus far to have a player foul out, while having another player commit four fouls himself, is also the first team to have multiple players make it to the end without fouling once. A very imbalanced and error-prone team on both sides of the ball, and this was reflected in the Magic's actual performance in the 1991-92 season, where they went 21-61 (including a winless December '91 where they went 0-15, plus a 17-game losing streak in January '92). Finishing with the worst record in the NBA, they earned the top pick in the draft, and used it to get Shaquille O'Neal...to say the absolute least, the rest was history. Honestly, I am now tempted to try the Genesis version now, to get the 'power package' of Anderson, Scott, and O'Neal. (As a quick note, it turns out not all copies of the SNES version are made equal; only ones marked with the serial code 'XM' have the famed Michael Jordan as starting guard for the Chicago Bulls, while later copies marked 'NA' remove him from the game and replace him with player #99, "GUARD BULLS," with slightly different stats and a generic silhouette in place of his player portrait. Just something to keep in mind if you should decide to spend money on an actual cartridge.) For now, I'll stick with the SNES release as it is hard to beat having Bird, Johnson, and (in most cases) Jordan. Next up for the Celtics was to face the Indiana Pacers, in a game where Indy had them in trouble early on; the Pacers got to 100 points first, with Rik Smits scoring to give Indy a 100-87 lead with 10:10 left in the third period, while Dee Brown got the Celtics to 100 with 6:11 left in the third, making it a 114-101 game for a Boston team that was fighting to come back. Ultimately, Boston prevailed by a final score of 177-156, with an exceptional showcase of defense that proved too much for the Pacers, courageous though they were. Reggie Lewis was on fire as he had not yet been before, igniting Indiana with 87 points while making his one and only free throw attempt; he also committed three fouls. Dee Brown finished with 42 points while going two for two on free throws and committing a single foul. John Bagley had 23 points, going three for four on free throws and committing two fouls. Larry Bird had 15 points, making his one and only free throw of the game and fouling twice himself. The Pacers' offensive output was distributed evenly, with three players finishing with at least 42 points. Rik Smits led the way with 48 points and one foul, while Reggie Miller was close behind with 44 points and three fouls. Micheal Williams (not a typo; that is how his name is spelled) finished with 42 points while also fouling thrice. Detlef Schrempf finished with only twelve points, but went two for two on free throws (and was in fact the only player on the team to make even a single free throw successfully) while fouling once. The Washington Bullets await the Celtics in their next game, and if they win that, it will set up a rematch against the Knicks. As Boston prepares, I take a moment to take my environment in. Laundry tosses to and fro in at least one washer. A housemate speaks of getting ready for an upcoming party. A coworker, and drama colleague, texts me about my inclusion in a group chat. A Shopvac threatens to render me deaf, but its presence is appreciated as it is soaking up water left behind by a leaky air conditioner. Its operator is no familiar face, but introduced himself humbly in the background while I sat, thinking of what to write next. Later on today, we are supposed to attend a performance of "The Little Mermaid" at FAU, but before that the plan is for me to come into possession of a new pair of tennis shoes, to eradicate the need to wear my dress shoes during weekend outings. I am not sure how many scuffs they have on them now, but it doesn't bother me one way or another. Each scuff is as a battle scar, a reflection of past adventures, just as the scars on my head--visible whenever I get my head shaved--are marks of victory and defeat, of triumph and tragedy. I am shaken, but not broken, with apologies to the great James T. Walker. A housemate engages in a conversation with the CNA who's helping out today, but I am unable to discern what it concerns, let alone at liberty to disclose any of the contents thereof. Yet another housemate makes some noises. They grow louder and are suggestive of distress far more than they imply excitement. For now things are calm. Eventually the storm comes. A sneeze. "Bless you." "Thank you," the repairman replies. He speaks to someone else. I turn around and see him. He is a man of average height, with a shaved (or bald) head. A hard-working, humble man. I respect what he is doing very much. Who knows what his story must be? I am tempted to inquire, but let him proceed with his obligations knowing how important it is for him to fulfill responsibilities. The distressed housemate has just concluded a visit to the bathroom. She expresses what seems to be a question, but I can't discern any of the verbiage. I pick up the tone, an implication of uncertainty. Her brother seeks for the house manager, who will likely return soon; an older female housemate then encourages him to take a seat, and wait patiently for the manager's return. She makes herself a voice of authority when no one else will step up to the plate. I am tempted to speak up, but hold my tongue out of respect. She has been through a lot, and is old enough that she could have been my mother too. She acts on the basis of what she knows. We are all products of our environment. It is better to look at a problem rather than the person. And sometimes, the perceived problem was never a problem at all.
