Hmm, could it be because Boston has Antoine Walker, Paul Pierce, Kenny
Anderson and a real center? By contrast, Denver's team had 1 legit superstar
(McDyess) who, as it happens, plays Fortson's natural spot; a scattergun point
guard; a way-off guard who shot less than 40% ... you get my drift?

Geez, this guy Stozjak or Kojak or whatever makes Bob Ryan and Peter May feel
all warm and fuzzy. Who's his mentor, Jim Rome?
