alright yeah, i remember him from Miami. I think he won a ring with Wade and Mourning (played good in this series) in 2006. He's physical, i know that.

r u talking about posey???? r u a celtics fan????

I think he's being sarcastic.

Anyway, I think we're pretty solid for 3-PT shooters. We already have Ray and Paul who are very reliable. Off the bench we have Nate and Delonte who are legit threats as well.

Add to that Glen Davis and Kevin Garnett who are effective floor-stretchers, we have plenty of space for Rondo to work with.

Exactly.

i don't know. he's old and i think he need someone else to share the responsiblity. He can't keep running around like that. I am happy Paul Pierce is at the top of his game and in peak condition though. Hes a stud. As far as picking up someone idk, i haven't followed much. I'm more into football right now, but hey maybe your right.

But he's not playing like he's old, now is he?  How do you know he can't keep running like that, he keeps himself in great shape.  He's probably the best conditioned person on the team, regardless of age.

Ray may be the best ever, but hes getting old. Plus hes predictable in the playoffs. He runs in circles more times that my dog did b4 goin to the bathroom. Ray knows it and the opponents know it. He won't be getting the same looks in the 20 11 playoffs.

Will this be Allen's first year in the playoffs? He has been doing the same thing for years. Now you are telling me 2011 is the first time opponents are going to notice what he does and FINALLY try to stop it?

  Yeah, opposing coaches usually catch on after 12-13 years...

Newsflash, we won the ORL game and we shot poorly from downrange, Dwight went off and we still won. There is no reason to panic here.

I think DA intended Wafer to be a marksman for us when he signed him so far its not panned out.  West should help a little when he gets back.  Nate will shoot better when he isn't the distributor.  Good shooters is always a good thing when one has a passer like Rondo.   But I think another Big may be more pressing need if JO craps out on us.  I know Perk is back but until he laces them up and runs up and down the court I am nervous about our depth at 5.

Playing good perimeter defense offsets 3pt  shooting most of the time.If the C's had played defense the way they're capable of for 4quarters vs Orlando the Ryan Andersons' of the world would not have looked like the second coming of Reggie Miller.

We need a rebounder waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more then we need a 3 pt guy.

We really really need someone who can hit the offensive and defensive glass.

If we had that...the same game you are talking about wouldn't have been as close.   When the Magic did miss they got their own rebounds and scored most of the time on their 2nd chance shots.

Do we have bigger bodies to defend yes...but I see rebounding like last year will be this teams downfall...IF we have a downfall.

you are correct, but Perkins is coming back soon. As for a 3 pt shooter, Dwest can hit them and create his own shot too.

We should go get someone like Von Wafer... oh wait, we have him.  Perhaps this is why BBD has been increasing his range?  Hopefully not!

Delonte will be back soon, and he's decent at 3pointers.  This team, when healthy, is quite complete.

I'm almost sort of a little bit warming up to the Wafer, but I hope all the guys ahead of him are healthy and he's in street clothes with Gody and Bradley come the playoffs.
