Philly Game Illustrates The Difference Between An Impact Player And Very Good/Good-Plus Players

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

NBA talent isn't cumulative. Mutumbo an
impact player beat Pierce, a very good player,
and Walker, a good-plus player. It's that simple.

C's better find one in the offseason.
Until they come up with an impact player or two,
don't expect this Celtics team to go far. Sure
with a couple of good draft choices and a good
exception signing, they might actually make the
playoffs. But go far?

No chance. As long as Pierce and Walker are
the best you've got, it's no further than the second
round for this motley crew.

Adding an impact player and subtracting Walker.
Well, now you've got a chance to do something.
