[Way Of The Ray <wayray@ix.netcom.com>]

But the C's are playing a half court game and Kenny excels in
transition....

                                Patriots willing to pay the price for
                                success

                                Bob Cousy, Tom Heinsohn, and Walter
                                McCarty, all taking part in the same
                                interview session, seemed to agree that
                                the Celtics' rise or fall this season will
                                be in the hands of point guard Kenny
                                Anderson. ''Anderson has to do a better
                                job of spreading the ball around, but it
                                has been difficult for him to do because
                                he is a better player in transition than
                                in the halfcourt game, and the Celtics are
                                playing the halfcourt game,'' said Cousy.
                                Said Heinsohn, ''The first five or six
                                games Kenny was here, he looked like the
                                answer. He made everyone around him
                                better. But that didn't happen last year.
                                He is capable of leading the offense, and
                                if he plays the way he can, the Celtics
                                will be a lot better.''
