running and point guards



good points, Mark.  The running game is a result
of the point guards' limitations.  James isn't a real
point, but another 6'4" combo guard, of the kind the
league is littered with.  He also isn't fast enough to
beat anybody, which is why he always is turned away
on his penetrations.  As for Banks, he can get by
anybody, but hasn't put together the passing game yet --
and neither has anybody else.  The Celtics need someone
to teach the guys how to play the lanes, etc.

Here's what I'm wondering about re Banks.   Is he going
to find a way to score in the lane?  It seems like every shot
he takes in the paint gets cleanly blocked.  It can't just be
his size.  The league is full of small guards who can get
their shot off.  Why can't Marcus?  What do you guys think?
