Clyde Drexler’s 2nd Game vs Larry Bird (VERY RARE FOOTAGE)

to go with Wayne Cooper and Michael Thompson Z Ramsey going to his bench quickly here good move by Rell Valentine on that penetration, it's good as we talked about it, we're going to be a good test in terms of determining, you know who has, who goes deep and who Got Drexler's strongest Ben Drexler Ste, excellent in Valentine. We told them about Drexler. He had 67 steals before this

game

, Houston's 67th R forward, took one right there and almost got another one here. He from 20 feet he hits him. To break a small four point streak Portland had, the rookie went to the well obviously too often and too fast that time he slipped third the first time and then tried to do it again, crossed to M, the C's are still sloppy.

They haven't read the stats for this club in terms of their steal potential and their speed, quickness and alertness, so they can't continue to be careless like they have been so far with P. I think that's really been the difference and the offensive board. On Portland's part, good move on Paris's part, make it 30 or 20 guys like that, you know, start doing some fakes, moving off the ball and not necessarily the best type of guy to have that basket. won't count but what a great pass C that was from B ma uses the bounce pass which in my opinion is the best pass in basketball actually especially in traffic here extremely well second team in Portland first dretler no fly Dennis Johnson has the ball and the Celtics are up by one point DJ finding

he really had confidence in that outside shot on this Drexler hits Iron Cooper getting the rebound, a jump hook and a lamp, a loose ball foul will be called a rebound.

Mcale turned to Larry Bird, well, again he had to go to his bench and say, you know, uh, exping, we had two or three bad shots. A row and by the guys that W has it partially blocked. Good

game

here. In comes Fly Brexler kicking back to Cooper. Good job by Valentine to get it back to the big man coming through the middle. Excellent counterattack by Portland and the Celtics lead. is down to one point 8887 90-87 celex by three Valentine works with Jeff's lamp, the former Virginia Star Plays Virginia when Samson was a new Rexler jump shot, they have high hopes that he played for Guy Lewis, who is a free place.

Wheeler as far as the offense goes he shoots up and down and now they are trying to catch him with an indestructive style of play so the adjustment hasn't been easy for the kid, they love him, they say he's going to be a great a leading Celtic three point player returns for the Blazers goes to Carr and misses the shot, it is Westler who shot. I will tell you that Portland is having to work a lot harder for their offense and it's not an autistic success like that. you know it could have gone either way and in fact they could have called a foul on bre, I think I'll have to go back to the starting five pretty quickly, here, bird being chased by Drexler, bird to pick and he gets. another, that from 22 feet by Larry Bird 9491 with 5 and 1/2 minutes left in the game.

Drexler has to be talking to himself because he was playing excellent defense, suddenly he was erased by Scale Bird. inch and a half and then he buried it Portland continues, they hung up is

very

aggressive in that offense Bo Rexler just throws Bir to the ground foul as indicated 10 seconds left on the shot clock for the Celtics their offense now extended a little further What Bird now wants in a running back is four and he will be on the line. J. Ramsey is red hot in that one, you can see his face, it's bright red, he looks like he matches that blue jacket.

Jack has always been

very

demonstrative. Coach, well, he's been pretty quiet tonight, of course, I'll tell you what you know, he sees that the game doesn't necessarily get away from him, but, like I say, I think the C could generate a much better offense, in the last fourth you hate having you. He probably knows Washington's game. He didn't mind losing so much because they played so badly. They have made a good effort throughout the game and not only have they been on top, but here they are two points up with four of them in four and a half weeks. 447 minutes ago, that must be a little frustrating for the coach 95 93 Celtics Larry Bird one more free throw Larry now has 31 points left with 17 rebounds and eight assists took two seconds off the clock in addition to a smart game that even if they hit all three they play now almost any opportunity three point shot is caught in the air by Kevin McCale that's the ball game the Celtics win it 107 to 101 just a great great game here tonight at the Portland Coliseum I certainly hope you enjoyed it there it is his final score with the Celtics keeping Portland without a point in the last minute of play the Celtics have won three in a row on this trip to the Pacific Division the final Boston 107 at Portland 101
