Where were they before Larry took over?  Under Larry Brown they were out of 
the playoffs.
Bird somehow got them to play at a higher level, beyond their talents and 
twice nearly took them to the NBA finals.  But this is an aging unit - 
getting older right before your eyes.  Will Smits ever again be what he once 
was?  Miller?  Mullin?  Jackson?  This years loss might make them come back 
angry with something to prove or it may signal the end.  I think it is more 
likely the latter.
