David was, for the moment at least, the catlyst Bennett had looked for all season, one who could transform the team into a cohesive unit. Although his contribution could not be substantiated by his stats line, his influence on the team's chemistry was undeniable. Bennett was understandably dismayed when an assistant pointed out David's minimal statistics. 'Statistics are the last important part of this whole discussion! Everything is smoother with Dave in so many little ways. I've been down this road too many time and the statistics just do not tell the story. I can't stand stats that interfere with what is right."
