	LOL; is that what your "inside" sources at the Globe are telling you? 
A press boycott? Not that we'd miss most of them.
	Gotta give Shira lots of props., though, for her continued, insightful 
exploration, of the mind that was once Vin Baker.
	Thinking back over the more than a year since he joined the team, 
Shira has provided several interesting stories about Vin's problems and 
his father's, fiery, pulpit sermons and his agent/shill/trainer, who 
was suing him for reneging on a commission promised, if he could get 
Vin traded to Boston. Only Shira, it seems, has an Amtrack pass.
	But, alas, you are looking to bury Ainge, not resurrect Shira Springer 
or resuscitate Vin Baker.
	 It's hard to know what Ainge is thinking, with both sides of his 
mouth moving so rapidly, with his patented, unsynchronized utterances, 
but, one thing I do know, there are less and less point guard options, 
of any kind, each and every day and he should be just as serious about 
giving O'Brien 48 minutes of point guard options, as in forcing Jimmy 
to play Banks.
	Marcus, playing 20-25 minutes a game should be enough. Sitting and 
watching a real, veteran point guard, for 20 minutes and playing 
against him in practice, might be better than being forced through his 
mistakes, being overplayed, with a jeering crowd and the possibility of 
the rookie wall, just when the season gets competitive.
	I'll get over Kenny Anderson's signing with Indiana, but if this 
season and much of the good morale this team has acquired over the last 
two years, goes down the toilet, because O'Brien feels the need to play 
Tony Delk big minutes at point guard, with the resultant return to the 
over reliance on Antoine Walker, as chief distributor and the isolation 
of Pierce on the left wing, running the gauntlet through three 
defenders, because our only other offensive options are the point guard 
at the arc and the off forward in the  corner, I'll personally hold 
Ainge accountable and  perhaps  even have grounds for suit, to cover 
the costs of the sanitarium.
