"Banks"North Garden?

Today marks the return to practice of Celtics point guard Marcus Banks. Missing around 2 months with a shin injury, he may be the spark the 16-time World Champs need to get their groove back after a sluggish road trip through the D***B Belt (politically-corrected for no apparent reason).

While Delonte West has performed admirably in the role, it has been, at times, a spotty record. Banks may be the needed element to put this offense right. Banks will be an unrestricted free agent after this year, so he has every incentive to light it up for the C's for the balance of this campaign.

More than anything, this squad need consistency from everyone other than Paul Pierce and Ricky Davis (who thought this guy would ever be a pillar of strength?).
