[fairweatherfan]

New Starting line up tonight.  Bass and Faverani are out and Sully and Kelly are in.  According to A. Sherrod Blakely

Sully and Kelly vs Duncan and Tiago.  Trial by fire, but I like it (challenging the young'ns, not the likely outcome).

Naw ......Celtics may end up playing it close ....... But that's the BEST that this game will produce for Celtics. Maybe a close game for 3 quarters . 

The Spur are a contender with. Veteran  Closer 's .......talent that can and WILL take over the game in the fourth and finish off the Celtics .


Celtics lose by 10 .

Not Stevens fault......he has junk role players.


Think about it.       Duncan and Parker   Vs.   Crawford and Fav ......

Come on Danny ?............your team sucks ........for 70 million this is all you can put on the floor ?

wow. did you all of a sudden forget the plan?

I like the change. I think they need more quickness and mobility to better handle the Spurs PnR play than Faverani provides. So I like Olynyk coming in for Faverani. And I have wanted Sully in the starting lineup for Bass for some time. Sully earned that spot with his play last year.

I think either Sully or Olynyk can cause Tiago Splitter a few problems but I worry about how well they can handle Duncan. Duncan hasn't been scoring too much (12ppg, 39% FG%) to start the season so hopefully that continues. Gives them half a shot.

Spurs are a slow team, I don't see us being blown out and I think we can hang in. I would have higher hopes if we played them first instead of Hous. I always think we can sneak victories, I just believe it more when situations are ripe for the picking... like had we played SA yesterday (I don't care that they are 9-1)! I knew we would beat Mia b/c of things like this. Bad thing, the Spurs are far less likely to sleep on us, they are going to run their stuff to perfection no matter who they play (even when they lose).

Agreed.

I think the hesitation to put Sully as a starter so far has been that Bass had a strong start to the season, plus Sully and the 2nd unit for the most part has been working quite well, so hard to change that aspect.

But after a handful of poor game from Bass, it's time to let Sully shine as it should have been in the first place (but initially prevented because he was coming off back surgery).

Bold Prediction

Jeff Green goes off.

Gerald Wallace gets 15 off the bench.

We win in OT.

Not starting Sully probably had a lot more to do with his conditioning than anything else. But CBS wanted to start Sully from game 1 but of course he was suspended and Vitor Shined, I guess he didn't want to mess with that (Sully was doing great with the bench unit).

You're right about the suspension. I remember after the first game Stevens inferred before the game that had Sully been available, the probable starters would've been Olynyk and Sully for that game.

But as mentioned, Bass had a strong start and Faverani had a good start, so Sully and his conditioning and how the 2nd unit was performing with him made it hard to justify the change.

But it's time to move on from Bass... I think we should be seeing more of Humphries over him too, but we'll see.

It's about time

As long as AB isn't taking 22shots and learn to look for our bigs and JG, we might have a chance.

[Chief]

KO, Sully, AB, Green, and Pressey is the best lineup.
