I think Cleveland, at this point, would much rather have the problems the Celts are having at back up point rather than the problems they are having (Gibson out).

With Gibson out, the play of the backup PG could very well be a major factor tomorrow.....or it could be moot.  We'll see.

I think it might be a little late for House.  He hasn't looked good in the limited minutes he had; plus, can he shake off the rust after a few weeks of sitting? 

Also, let's not forget Terry Francona and Mark Bellhorn.  Everyone in Boston thought Francona was an idiot for sticking with Bellhorn when they had Pokey Reese on the bench.  No one thought that after his big homeruns in the ALCS and World Series.  I wouldn't count Cassell out yet.  He won't let his drough affect him.  As bad as he's looked, he could win the next game for us.

Yeah, and as my dad likes to say " If a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his butt when he jumped"!

But wouldn't House be Bellhorn? House was the backup for the great majority of the season, like Bellhorn was the 2B. Both House and Bellhorn filled their roles great throughout the yr. House as our Vinnie Johnson like scorer off the bench, Bellhorn as the On Base perentage guy. Francona stuck with Bellhorn and he hit a few pivitol HR's (I was at Game 1 of the WS). Doc could of stuck with House and there would have been a good chance that House's spark could of put us over the top in a few gamnes (think Boobie Gibson last yr). Instead Doc switched to Sam ET Pokey Cassell.
