szczerbiak makes a big difference for them. he's the jump shooter you need on a fast-break team, the trailer who is wide open when the break to the hoop fizzles. pierce fills that role, too.

they do shoot better, mike b. you're right about getting rid of the wild gunners, starting with antoine. he had to go if the kids were going to develop.

Ricky Davis is great on the 12' jumper. I know he gets a lot of press for his supposed bad attitude, but while he was here I liked him better than Pierce. Ricky never took a play off, he always looked to me like he was playing defense, and unlike PP, he didn't sit on the floor and cry about a non-call while everyone else was running down the court.

Obviously, he didn't get along with Rivers.

Yeah Mel, it's always entertaining to hear the Cooz annunciate a word like periphery.

I'm sure this Heinsohn show should be interesting. When he played, he had a deadly hook shot. I've heard him many times bemoan the fact that so few guys practice it. Kareem made a living out of it, that's for sure.

I remember when the top fifty all-time players were announced and Tommy wasn't amongst that elite group. I'm pretty sure Bob Ryan wrote that he should have been on it.

He may not be the best player ever, but he was a damned good player and has served the organzation faithfully in every capacity possible. The hook shot is a fairly simple shot to learn and to get good at. Not sure why more players don't use it. -------------------- Cliff: That's enough Normie, I'm waiting for an apology. Norm: Great I'll drop it in the mail, that way I know you'll never get it. Mike B is right!
