Ok, can we put Bill Walker out there?  Is he dressed to play (I can't watch the game)?  I just want to see something different - a new look.

Did the streak wear these guys out?  They look tired and just going through the motions on D. 

If they were even going through the motions on D, the Raptors wouldn't be shooting 52%.

These guys just don't know where to be, and don't know how to close out....

and yet they did during the streak. I'm so confused.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

we started out really well on D. now we're just going through the motions, i think Doc will light a fire in them and we'll have one of those celtics 3 quarters.

3 seed in the east....wish for more but honestly it looks like they shot their load during the 19 game streak...they just look tired and uninterested right now....hope they turn it around but...every game seems to be a struggle

Im pretty sure Walker is dressed to play, but I think doc was looking to play him in blowout minutes, which is unlikely unless maybe we get blown out

I don't understand why neither of the rookie wings have been given a few minutes while Tony Allen has been injured. It's one thing when Tony is healthy .... it's created a large hole in his absence.

I'm pretty sure no one played well in that half, and only Scal played ok.

i understand being loyal to the Vets...but this is stupid not to at least try the rookie wings....i mean the cavs plays a rookie good minutes....the heat play chalmers almost the entire game.....i would bet walker or giddens would give just as good minutes as tony allen

I know. Scal's a nice guy that's decent on defense and about a 34% 3 p shooter, but are we seriously giving him minutes over Billy Sky Walker???? How bad will we be laughing at that in 2 years when Billy is our starter? I watched this kid in the D league and he has NBA game. He has power, moves, tenacity, defense.

Don't tell me he's not good enough because I remember complaining about Rondo, Gomes, and Powe not getting minutes when they were rotting on the bench.

I think KG's hurt or dead exhausted. He doesn't look right out there.

Remember when Rondo said one of his goals was to win Defensive Player of the year?
