	LOL; facetiousness flies like snow in the alps.
	Banks is  a rookie and in time, I suspect he will do just fine.
	You say James is playing well, well, that's our point of discord. My 
view of him so far, is that he's Delk without a shooters touch. Either 
he or Tony will give us Walker creating in the half court.  In other 
words; why play James when you have Delk to do the same thing, only 
with some scoring? Pass up the floor? Delk can do it. Baker can do it; 
hell Kenny Anderson's grandmother can do it. A point guard ain't a 
point guard, if he can not create in the half court.
	The point of my post, was not to see Delk in the starting role (ugh), 
but to use that threat, (it will happen, friends) to dramatize the need 
for that "true" point, I have been raving about for years. Ainge just 
doesn't seem to see it. Larry Bird does and he grabbed two more to 
compliment his third year vet.; Tinsley. Tonight we will begin to see 
just how smart Larry really is.
