The air must be awfully thin up there on the 7th floor -- that's the only
explanation I can come up with for a pea-brained statement which excludes
Larry Bird from membership in the best-two-players-on-the-Celtics club.

Say what you will about Ainge, but when Larry's "O" is off, he'll still
carry the club with his rebounding, passing, and defense. And have you
noticed that the C's have extended their winning streak to 13 with McHale
watching from the sidelines. And in one of those games, DJ was among the
missing, too (zero points, zero shots attempted, half his usual minutes).
