This got me to thinking.  It seemed almost effortless for DJ and Ainge
to get the ball into McHale and Parrish in the post.  I don't think we
have that kind of skill now.  I wonder if it can or will be developed.
This may be a significant road block.

On the other hand, this team has exceeded my expectations by 2 months. I
thought that if they kept their composure, they would be playing like
this at the end of February, first of March.  I am impressed with both
the coaching and the response of the players.

Cool.
