One of the things he and I were talking about off camera is the situation of Boston.

Again, very unique, new generation of players with Divers and trying to figure out

where the best fit for him is. Take us inside. Give us the real skinny of what's going on there.

Is it a struggle? Is it a comfort level? Is it, um, is it a, is it a roster thing? Give me the real story. Well, it's so, first of all,
