Re: Red Auerbach dead.
Under Red's leadership the Celtics were the first NBA team to put five black players on the court at the same time, the first team with a black coach (Russell), and the first team with a black GM (KC). No one thinks any of that is unusual in 2006, but in the 50's and 60's it was revolutionary.
RIP, Red. You were a great coach and a great man.

Re: Red Auerbach dead.
Got to see ESPN Outside the Lines show on Red Auerbach this morning. I knew about all of his Championship seasons as Celtic's head coach, but learned much more about him as a person and a man. Very impressive!

Re: Red Auerbach dead.
Celtics are going to have a nice patch to honor Red this season. I wish it was a lit cigar. I never knew he actually smoked a cigar at the end of a game while on the bench. Would be cool to see a few coaches do this as a tribute. Probally a fire code, but what the hell......RIP Red.

Re: Red Auerbach dead.
You add the Minn. Lakers Championships to the LA Lakers' and, include a couple of new ones in the next few years with Kobe, Bynum, et. al. and then do the math. The "Celtic dynasty" is in the coffin with Red. Pass the stoggie, my friend, Boston was lucky for a few years, but, God is definitely a Laker fan, 2-0 baby, 2-0 baby.

Re: Red Auerbach dead.
So for the past 20 or so years the reason the Celtics haven't won a Championship ring is because they are just bad, not unlucky. I agree. 16 Championship rings and...lights out. I understand Mass. guys love losers, (Sox, Bruins, John Kerry) add these guys to list. Red, may he rest in peace, was classless just like that other guy from New York, Al Davis. "Win at any cost," even cheat and blame it on the little people, the Leprechans. Well, what happens when you don't win? Am I suppose to feel sorry for ya? Hell no. I understand Al isn't feeling too good now. Well, like Ernie Banks (a class guy) always says: "Let's go for two."
