I wouldn't mind seeing about 5-10 minutes of Big baby tonight, maybe get KG another 5 minutes of rest so he's got good gas going down the stretch.

Big Baby and TAllen...a couple guys who could wreak some physical havoc on this Lakers team with energy and mucsle.

Throw em a little curve ball.

I just don't think the Lakers would have any anser for Big Baby in the paint. They have no Maxiell to guard him.

I think he could do some damage.

No need.


Keep the rotation that is being used.  (though with House instead of Cassell)



If the offense was just average for game 3, the Celtics would be up 3-0.


There is no need to experiment at this point.

Hahahahaha...Big Baby can come in and commit a quick 4-5 fouls, fumble some passes, and take a few wild shots.  Maybe for comedy relief when we are 20 points ahead.  Then he can punish the Lakers and us as much as he wants.

I don't know if Davis is a good matchup in this series.  He doesn't have the explosiveness that Powe has to be able to take advantage if they leave him alone on the weak side.

I know, I know...I really just want to see if Big Baby has enough hops to do a swan dive over Gasol like he did over Szerbiak.

That was one of my favorite sports moments of all time. I watched it about 20 times, crying laughing.

I miss the Big guy...he's always good for a laugh and I take great pleasure in watching people suddenly flying off the court for no apparent reason or making the mistake of bumping into him as they take a bunny hop through the pea patch dwon in the paint.

I agree except that they didn't even need to be average. They just needed to be bad (just 40% from the field) instead of very bad (35%).

Naaah, I love Big Baby, but Leon has played so well I'd stay with him.  But I do think Big Baby probably could do damage against the Lakers if he played, it's just not necessary to take the risk.
And TA, I don't think anyone has any confidence in him right now. He's been pretty bad lately- needs to resurrect his career next season, if possible.

Big Baby will be very rusty.  I say stick with PJ, Posey, House, and Powe.
