Havlicek eager to start season
Columbus AP notes John Havlicek, ready to begin his 15th NBA season with the Boston Celtics despite an unsigned contract. He expects the merger with the ABA to bring parity, sees a tougher season, and targets a personal milestone of becoming the NBA’s all time games leader in his 14th game. He also says the 1976 Celtics are the weakest title club and need help at every position.
