totally agreed Kim. if we move Wally for Iverson, West and Iverson
start. If not West and Wally start, with Telfair coming off the
bench.
I dont' see Telfair starting -- at least not for the first half of
the season. Let him adjust by throwing alley-oops to Allen and
Green on the 2nd unit!

that all said i hope Berry is just on vacation or something.... not
in mournign.
