Rick stated that the Celtics will play Defense and I believe his words
will come true.  also, Kentucky was very dangerous when they setup in
their half court offense, because they were so hard to guard.  The
players in this system are very versatile.  Furthermore,  I think you
forgot to ask Pat Riley and the Lakers.
