I'm glad OB's not using rookies as much. The team is finding a stride.
Williams is finding his place. Strickland played well against the Knicks
knowing they wanted the game badly. That's a plus. JJ is not a starter at
this point and thought it wasn't a good move by OB early on.

> Well, Robert Pack is down here working out and hoping to catch on with
someone in the near future.  He's a ten year vet with point guard skills,
great speed, tenacity--a less burly Eric Strictland and probably a better
finisher than Eric.  He has been injury prone, however.  I'm not advocating
the Celts pick him up, but he is interesting.  If Kenny has a rash of
injuries, we're suddenly weakened at the point.  Still, we claimed and then
let Pack go without a real shot, so I don't expect anything.

it all at once, and it seems as though the coach has decided to slow down on
use of the rookies.
