	The best pass, last night was from Pierce to Kedrick Brown cutting to 
the hoop from the top of the key, for a monster slam.
	The only other player on the team who might be considered is Walker, 
but he doesn't play guard.
	None of our "so called" point guards have shown any capability to 
create in the half court or make any passes, except up the floor to an 
open man, to try and start a break. Oh, sorry, there was one drive and 
dish by James, to Kendrick Perkins,(who has hands Mark Blount would die 
for and finished like a man).
	I'm totally disappointed with the lack of point guard skills from 
James and Banks and am patiently awaiting the return of Tony Delk, who 
at least can drain the open jumper. The team will improve dramatically, 
when he returns to the starting point guard position, perhaps as early 
as tonight.
	If I were Ainge, watching the play of Kedrick Brown and Vin Baker, who 
have both impressed, I'd be talking trade of Mike James and Eric 
Williams, for the best point guard available.
	Without a true point guard, this team could sink to new lows, with 
one, we could be playing the Lakers in June
