Game 2

[Berry, Mark S]

Delonte never said that. In fact, he bristled at the suggestion that
they needed a point guard. Don't get me started ...

I don't recall Delonte saying he's not a point guard. He did a fine job
last year and we can reasonably expect him to be better this year.
Forget designations, he's a better basketball player than Telfair in
most ways and the Celtics are a better team when he's on the floor
instead of the bench. 

The theory that a team, any team, is better off with a "pure point
guard" at the position for 48 minutes a night is the troubling
assumption to me.
