Chuch Atkins will start, while Marcus Banks and Sasha Vujacic will battle for backup minutes. They are counting on Banks to be their PG of the future, he has all the physical skills but has yet to understand the pro-game, I'm surprised Doc Rivers gave up on him just after one season. They also got Cris Mihm which they were coveting in the free agent market.
For Boston, they had a good draft picking up Al Jefferson, Delonte West and Toney Allen. They felt that Atkins' and Banks and expendable along with Mihm. And they saved money by dumping Atkins' contract.
never were in the game, played bad defense, couldn't make any outside shots (even though the 3-pt line is 2 ft. closer and the PR players were playing zone - go figure)...equals a 19-pt loss.
just when i thought Kupchak's stupidity had reached its peak, he goes out and proves me wrong by reaching a new height of idiocy.
the only reason for making that trade was Marcus Banks...and now it's all for nothing. in exchange for Payton the Lakers get a big stiff and a journeyman PG. nice job Mitch.
