ton Celtics, the winningest team in
the* Eastern Conference. That lx*st-
of-seven quarter-final series starts
AVednesday night in Boston
But perhaps an even tougher task
confronts the Pistons.
First of all. a lot of fans think they
shouldn t have !x*en in the playoffs to
begin with, considering they
finished the season 10 games under
500 — matching the* worst record an
NB A team has ever taken into the
plaxoHs — and two games Ix-hind
Vlidwest Division winner Mil
waukee.
Then they had to go down to the
wire before taking tbeir best-of-
threc* series from the Bucks with a
107-104 victory Sunday.
And now they have to plav the
Golden State Warriors w ho happen
to Ix* not only the winningest team in
the VA’estern Conference hut the
winningest team in the league — and
the NBA defending champion to
boot That !x*st-of-seven quarter
final opens Tuesday night in Oak

quarter-final matchiips, the Seatth
Siqx*i Sonics are at Phoenix Tuesday
night with the Suns leading twf
games to one and, on Wednesday
night. Cleveland visits the Washing
ton Bullets with the Cavaliers hold
ing a 2-1 series edge.
Just another dull series for us,*
Braves guard Ken Charles laughed
.liter his two free throws with seven
seconds to go in overtime gave Buf
falo its winning edge against the
78ers.
It s a good thing we were having
so much Bin, cause if we ever start
thinking alNuit the pressure of games
like this one, we ll probably lose,”
Charles added.
Tlie odds-makers and most fans
probably think the Pistons will lose
to Golden State — hut Milwaukee
Coach Larry Costello isn't so sure.
The Pistons match up well with
Golden State.” he said after the
Bucks fell from post-season play. “I
think thev II give the Warriors a bat
tle.”
