interesting stuff in teh metro west article about how House & Poses negotiations went down.

Lex Nihil Novi-This is a neat one. I remember that game. I’m not sure, but I think they even took one 3 away from Bird because they say he was fouled before the shot. Also, what lead up to this was a week or so before McHale scored 55 points against, I believe, the Piston’s. McHale was being guarded by Kent Benson, a guy who gave Bird a hard time when he first went to Indiana (not Indiana State). Bird was loving it, but got ticked off at McHale when McHale asked to leave the game after 55 points (or he was on the bench and didn’t want to go back in). Bird wanted him to get 60. After that Bird said he was going to get 60. And he did.
