Did you forget that this town has an NBA team, which just so happens to be in the first-place spot of their division? That's right, the C's are in first place, four games up on the 76ers, who are having trouble trying to figure out how to use this ... this "Chris Webber"-thing they got from Sacramento while they play catch-up in the Atlantic division.
