He averaged the 8th most minutes in the playoffs, more than Leon Powe, Glen Davis, Eddie House and Tony Allen.

Only 17 games tho. I think he was hired around the same time we nabbed PJ Brown?

Cassell was really big in one of those series. I forget which one. House was struggling. They needed Sam's steady hand to cover up Rondo's up and down play.

Cleveland or Detroit. I forget.

Yeah, Cassell was a buyout from the Clippers. Joined up after the trade deadline.

PJ Brown was sitting out most of the season and waiting until the business end of the year before re-joining the NBA if memory serves. Rather than a buyout like Cassell.

Amazing, I just don’t remember him on that team. I remember House, Powe, Posey PJ...don’t remember Sam or Tony Allen.

One of the things I remember from that team is that everyone seemed to have their "big game". Including Baby, PJ, Sam. And then Powe, House and Posey were more consistently useful.

Gosh I really loved that squad man.

.edit: wish league pass let me rewatch that entire season. legit I'd pay good money to have every single game available.

Yeah, Sam was a buyout from the Clippers.  We signed him in early March 2008.  P.J. Brown signed as a free agent a few days earlier.

Cassell actually played more games in the playoffs (21) than he did for the Celts in the regular season (17).

Yup. He was definitely a “No…No…Yes!!!” guy in those playoffs too. Had some quality minutes in the earlier part of that playoff run.

I wouldn't call it a rumor.  Marc D'Amico put out a tweet that said fans of the 2008 team would get an announcement today that would make them very happy.  People are now trying to connect dots, which was probably part of the intent.  Though I bet it is probably tied to some other announcement.  Have they set a date for KG night yet?

No. It was originally going to be this past season but obviously got bumped. 

I wouldn't be shocked if that's the news, though.
