  Kareem at 38 (?) is playing better basketball than Walton ever did and
probably for longer than any man ever will again.  As Parish said last
season, there is no way to stop him except to keep him away from the
basket.  The best the Celtics can hope for out of Walton is 10-12 minutes
a game.

  They surely needed something.  Larry Bird may have taken the blame for
the Championship loss, but the backcourt shot miserable thirty-some
percent from the floor in many games including the 6th.
