Larry can ponder this on the golf course tomorrow.  Yes, the young Celtics 
have to develop chemistry.  Yes, the Sixers don't have anyone fighting 
Iverson for shots.  It is nice, however, to have a second or third scorer to 
go to for support when your main guy is on or to carry the load when your 
main guy is off.  One of the basketball columns i read this morning (it might 
have been Vescey) labelled Hughes an "All-Star" within 3 years.  Based on his 
body of work I'd have to say he's got a lot less chance of that than Mercer 
or Pierce considering what they've accomplished in their brief NBA careers.
