More on the lack of size

["Berry, Mark S" <berrym@BATTELLE.ORG>]

Here are a few stats on the Celtics to illustrate the glaring-GLARING-need
for additional size. You look at these stats and it makes you wonder how
Obie has this team where it is. No team so completely dominated on the
interior should be winning at this rate. But can they keep it up? Come on
Chris Wallace, earn your paycheck. Turn those rookies into something before
they become Marcus Fizer-another "best player available" who couldn't find
time behind Elton Brand, saw his stock drop through the floor and now is
losing minutes to Tyson Chandler.

The Celtics are:

26th in rebounding margin (-2.6)
26th in rebounding percentage (.485)
28th in offensive rebounding percentage (.255)
28th in blocked shots (3.7)
24th in blocked shots against (6.0)
28th in field goal percentage (.418)
