Re: Some good Celtics news

["Mac Alsup" <macalsup@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've always loved Mark Jackson's game.  He is one of only a few "true" point 
guards left in the league.  He truly looks for the assist first.  A typical 
line that he would put up a couple of years ago would be 10 points, 7 
assists, 6 rebounds.  If we can get that type of production and leadership, 
I say go for it.  I think he still might have a couple more years of 30 
minutes per game.
