Does the Truth have an Understudy not Named Marquis?

Y'all are gonna start thinkin' I'm gettin' kickbacks from The Army (two hat tips in one day), but tonight The Army cites a source (Hollinger) who is of the opinion that Marquis Daniels is our back-up point guard and E.House our back-up 2. On defense, they'll switch assignments. I can live with this. I was watching some of game 5 of the 1976 NBA Finals, and no matter how long I watched, I wasn't sure who was playing point, Jo Jo White or Charlie Scott. When they came out, Hondo moved back to the 2, and did most of the ball handling.

So it seems the Celtics have won LOTS-0-BANNERS with no conventional point guards on the roster (Did we have one in the 1960s after the Cooz retired?).

But the real news as far as I'm concerned is Hollinger's hint that Billy Boy Walker might get the nod at the back-up 3. Yeah, I'd like to see Giddens get a chance, but what I really want is an impact player. Hell, I'd even settle for TA, if somehow this happened to be the one year in his NBA career we could rely on him.

Since that won't happen, here's some love for Sky:
