RE: another indictment

[<r-ramani@usa.net>]

After reading this message I started to think and maybe someone who is a long
time fan can help me out.

If Larry Bird had a problem just being a "point forward", how was the matter
solved? 

If Walker has a thing about scoring points and running offense, with the
current team roster, is it possible for the team to go BIG and SMALL, with
Walker being the Point Forward when BIG and a low post threat while SMALL. To
make this work, Walker has to stay low when SMALL because there would be no
one else rebounding. And when BIG he has to be patient to look for offense and
not just barrel in the paint when the first opportunity arises.
 

I am guessing here, but using Larry Bird, I would imagine BIG team would be
Bird, McHale and Parrish. Small would shift Larry in the PF position with
either McHale or Parrish playing center.

  I don't know, Mark. I remember none other than Larry Joe Bird
  bitching about being used as a mere "point forward" by Jimmy Rodgers,
  a power struggle that eventuated, predictably, in Rodgers' ouster. I think
  the difference between touches and shots is legit -- but no player should
  sulk during a loss. I don't know why you're so pessimistic about the team,
  though -- they're playing hard and playing well on both ends of the floor,
  although they do need to get other guys more involved on offense.
