Huh?  The Ben Wallace I've seen has no offensive moves except for the 
put-back.  Why the Pistons threw it in to him in the post and expected 
something good to happen was beyond me.  His post moves, I think, are rare 
for two reasons: 1) nobody wants to see them more often, and 2) his coach 
realizes Wallace is a great defensive player, but as far as getting his 
own shot, he's less than effective.

"Good soft hands" on free throws?  Are we watching the same Ben Wallace 
shoot free throws?  This guy clanked more off the rim than... .

I tend towards agreement on the Nets, though.  Celts can take this series,
  though NJ is a good team, and it won't be easy.
