Someone mentioned Burke in the game thread, Burke based his theory for team construction (or so he was quoted anyways) on things he had picked up from Bill Torrey, to paraphrase Burke--


with that in mind he tried to build his teams with the plan that they had to be big and physical enough to play in a rough-and tumble series, quick enough to play against a 'greyhound' team, savvy enough to play against a veteran team, and trained well enough to play against a team that relied heavily on a defensive system'...


hmm check, check , check and check?
