Parish is way overrated. McHale was a beast on the blocks. Dennis Johnson was good, but he peaked before he was a C, and he benefited HUGELY from all the attention Bird and McHale drew. Ainge was almost worthless, aside from a few key shots. Their bench (Walton's cameo included) was slop. Bird & McHale were astounding as a one-two punch on both ends. Evan
