How much does 4,000 pounds of lo mein cost?
--- It'd be a crime if the new Garden doesn't serve free lo mein, fried rice, or whatever noodle/rice dish Red liked best.
--- It'd also be a crime if they don't play the "Hawaii 5-0" theme many, many times. It rocks. And whatever else Red listened to. Thanks for the great article, Bob Ryan. Bet a lot of folks were like us and had forgotten that.
--- Here's hoping that any and all windbags are kept far removed from the podium. Betcha that 100 words from Russ, Cousy, Tommy, Dave Cowens, John Havlicek, Kevin, or Larry that we won't ever forget will go a lot farther than 1,000 words from a pol or writer that we'll forget before they reclaim their seat. The greatest speech ever made at the Garden ran four words in length: "We luv ya, Cooz!"
--- One night of laughs would go a long way towards salving the past few days of ache. For "The Family", meaning players, coaches, management, staff, Garden crew, etc etc. For the second cousins, not by blood, but by marraige (that's us). And if Red's daughters and their families come, well, that'd be real nice, too.
--- The maximum on Wednesday night for phrases like "giant", "will never be seen again", "one of a kind" etc. should be held strong at 10 utterances in all. And there should be a running total on the Garden scoreboard, with any speaker unfortunate enough to be the one that exceeds this maximum forfeiting their remaining time.
--- Will Nicholson be there? Is he working? Hopefully if he shows he'll wear something obnoxious, take his boos, not be allowed to speak, slay us all with a grin, and head back to Faker Land. Yeah, that'd be nice. No way they let him in the building, though. They'd have to let in a lot of fucking people if every living past heckler got a ticket.
==================================
Also....
--- It'd be nice if someone said to Paul Westphal, privately, "You know, there should be another number up there." Although that's probably already been done.
--- The funny thing about being such a public figure is that we all have felt at certain times like maybe we knew the man. But we didn't. We saw parts of a whole. The folks who really knew Red Auerbach may do their damndest Wednesday to let us into an exclusive club, but there will always be a distance and separation. I guess that's why people ask for autographs and photos. Apartment404 staff are not big on that stuff. The memories will do.
--- OK, we're gonna bitch about one thing here. Not the time. Whatever. The "Boston Celtics: The Complete History" DVD set that came out in 2004 is not complete. Game FOUR of the Rockets-C's series in '86? And not 36-6? No "Henderson stole the ball?" And basically no game footage of the greatest championship run in the history of sports? There has to be footage, 'cuz I've seen pieces on ESPN Classic. Please, I'm begging ya.
