Teaching my 2 yr old to share is quite the chore

[Berry, Mark]

Even if that's the case, it's not a terrible thing. They need all three of them, and if that means KG or Pierce have to take a back seat to get Ray Allen started, then that's fine. The problem is if it continues -- if someone has to defer from game to game to get someone else going. That's not maximizing what you have.

This actually goes to my point about bringing Ray off the bench. Right now, that starting unit is a four-ounce glass we're filling with eight ounces of water. Someone else made the comparison to San Antonio and the way they use Ginobli off the bench. I think that's a great example.

But it's early. It should all shake out over time.

Toronto doubled Garnett and Pierce in the first game as well, and 
teams will likely continue to do so all season.   The difference:
against Minny G and P did not attempt to shoot the ball near
as much. Whatever ... just what I've heard.   No big deal.
