As the Boston Celtics rumble along in the NBA Finals, Don Casey merely needs to step into his backyard to be reminded of his days coaching with the storied franchise. One peek at the pool transports him back. Casey's wife yearned for a spot to cool off on warm summer days and Robert Parish, Ed Pinckney and Joe Kleine helped make it happen. 'They gave her a 'playoff bonus' out of their playoff money,' Casey said.
Red only wanted us to show the good things they did: 'Don't make them look bad.'' There was a kinder side to the cantankerous front office man, too. Casey and his wife sometimes drove Auerbach around because not many were willing to brave such an assignment. When the coach's wife was diagnosed with breast cancer, Auerbach and team CEO Dave Gavitt rushed into action. They lined up the best doctors and locked down appointments.
