More Wisdom on TEAM.

Sportswriter Greg Stoda quoting Coach Doc Rivers:

"I think they kind of understand that Rondo's the leader, everybody else plays with Rondo.  Kevin is still a great player, and Paul is still our best scorer. But they've gotten out of each other's way with roles. I think all the new guys have added a great competitive energy to our basketball team.

"So, early on when we were losing, I kept saying people were getting conditioning messed up with age. They kept looking at our team and saying, 'We're too old.' I kept saying, 'No, we're out of shape and let's find out how good we are later.'

"Sometimes, as a coach, you have a feel about a team. I don't know how good this team is. I've said that, but I know it's a team. We can play with anybody."
