chemistry issue

[Ryan W]

Good call, Jorge.  That's why, earlier in the year, I
thought it was insane to write Tony off and trade him
for nothing (this was before he started turning it
on).  We had (have) no one but him to guard people at
the 2/3 spots.  

Now, with Pierce coming back, we're going to have to
be careful, because not only will he be required to
put up his usually 25 points/7-8 rebounds, but he'll
also have to guard the other team's best wing.  That's
alot to ask, even when he's completely healthy. 
Hopefully, Doc sticks to his word and limits his
minutes.  And if I were Doc, I'd limit them for a
least 6 weeks, losses be damned (though I'm betting we
don't break this streak until he gets back).
