	That's just what I would hope for, considering that Jefferson will 
need time to get in shape, no matter what the official line on his 
recuperation is.
	Will Doc start Telfair, will he bring Wally of the bench to balance 
the units? Those are the big questions going into training camp.
	On the one hand, we have Ainge trying to change the offensive 
philosophy of the team by bringing in two; pass first, push the tempo 
point guards.
	On the other we have a coach who usually goes with his veterans, but 
remember that the 2004-05 team didn't get going until he talked Ricky 
Davis into coming off the bench to anchor the second unit.
	 The wild card is Pierce. If he won't run, or relinquish control of 
the offense, Telfair might be left with 10-15 mop up minutes per game, 
on the floor with no scorers.
