Dan, Horse's Heinie was the Celtic coach during my years in Boston. That doesn't surprise me in the least. If I recall, he even has a gravelly voice, similar to JM. And this in particular is in the proud tradition of Johnny Most: "Brad Miller is a SLIMEBALL!" I was blessed to grow up listening to the greatest professional basketball announcer the world has ever seen, Chick Hearn. Chick was never biased, and that was one of the things I loved about him. If the Lakers were getting breaks on calls, Chick always said so. If they were stinking out the joint, Chick always said so. In contrast, if they were getting hosed, Chick always said so. Chick may not have always been right, but he was always honest, and he was never a shill for the team.
