Re: from bad to worse - celt's offensive offense

["Troy Hash" <troyhash@xxxxxxx>]

I agree to a point with you.  In this offense, Shaq couldn't score double
digits!!  "not saying Baker is Shaq or even close, so don't flame me".  But
the point Josh is making is true.  Vin both offensively and defensively is
being asked to do things he has never been nor ever will be able to do.  So
make a few changes and take advantage of his strengths, don't just relish
him to the bench because of his weaknesses.  Troy
