RE: another indictment

Ritesh, 
the way the big three played was weird.  McHale played more of a traditional
center role though he was a PF, and Parish, though technically the center,
was more like a power forward, concentrating on rebounding and running the
floor.  Larry played all over the court, and was invariably assigned to the
opposition's slowest big man, usually regardless of position.
