The Celtics may be looking to get more physical tonight, as Eric Williams strongly suggested after their Game 1 loss to the Nets. But first they have to catch up with New Jersey.

The bottom line is that if the Celtics don't play a tougher game and keep the Nets from running - as in 23 transition points Monday - they can't expect to make it back to the Eastern Conference finals this season.

And after fouling out of the series-opener and believing he generally gets the short end of the officiating stick, Antoine Walker doesn't think he can join any hit parade.
