Why would we recall Giddens? He would never see the floor in the playoffs, he's better of in the D-league where he can play.

It's better for Giddens to play in the first game of the D League playoffs than to come back and play in a game where nobody cares.

As for Walker, I'd rather Doc just play TA and try to get him in the best possible headspace.  He's likely going to be critical to our success in the playoffs, and Walker can work on his game over the summer.  I hope he shows up at training camp next fall with something to prove.

I'd love to see both TA and Walker both get a lot of minutes, along with Marbury and Moore (as long as he doesn't foul out after the 1st quarter :P ) Who knows when we might need them in a crunch in the playoffs, getting them a lot of minutes this last game could payoff, let them work things out themselves.

like tonight, walker won't get many minutes.
Doc has tightened up his playoff rotation, and walker won't be part of it.  the extra minutes go to the bench players: marbury, house, t. allen, powe and moore.
Celtics fan for life.

Billy will probably log his last minutes of the season tonight. I hope he gets 20 min or so

What makes you think that?  Unless they're blowouts or foul trouble/injuries, I don't see Walker getting much of any run in the playoffs, especially not in the 4th quarter.  Despite the feelings of some, the 1st two rounds of the playoffs aren't just exhibition games leading to our date with the Cavs.  Our first two rounds went 7 games a piece last year.

Doc is gonna shorten the rotation and play the guys that he's comfortable with during the playoffs.  You've already got Paul, Ray, Tony and Eddie taking up the 2-3 spots.  And if Scal is ready to go for the playoffs, Billy's gonna be sitting.

Right, Walker's only potential playoff PT barring injury or suspension will be a stop gap during the first half if the team has foul trouble.
"Take this down," said O'Neal. "My name is Shaquille O'Neal and Paul Pierce is the (expletive) truth. Quote me on that and don't take nothing out. I knew he could play, but I didn't know he could play like this. Paul Pierce is the truth."

BUT if scal can't go our only backup sf is ta who is 6'4" so none of us doc included should shut the door on walker
