yes...nice way to end the half........that is the way the need to use steph....and to be honest pierce has gotten some good rest the first half...

[Fafnir]

Eddie!

(And nice play by Starbury, too.)

Offensively he can contribute a lot, I just worry about playing small with him and Eddie.

Either way it is nice to have a true backup for Rondo. Not that we can survive without Rondo for any period, but we need any depth we can get right now.....

Yeah he's just going to play Ray Allen more....

Wow, what a great play call by Doc in the timeout.  And run perfectly by Marbury and Eddie.  Good sign for the 2nd half.

Have to say I now expect Doc to call great plays out of timeouts.  Doesn't hurt to have a lot of good options, but he deserves real credit too.

almost has to though, unless he can make himself trust walker and JR. considering bill got yanked after 5 trips down the floor for some unknown reason, i doubt JR gets a chance :/

[twinbree]

wow salvator just overruled the trailing official to make that a charge.

him, dick baretta, and violet palmer can all leave the league at anytime.

Joey Crawford as well.

Can't stand them all. And the sad thing it seems the Celtics have one of them reffing almost every game.

[MattG12]

Ugh Donny... "Hahd to guahd" really?

[TheReaLPuba]

I think Perk gets some ticky tac fouls called on him sometimes and that really stays with him through out the game...mentally.

It's tough to play with so much emotion and have that uneasiness on your mind all game....top that off he doesn't have the greatest set of hands to begin with.

[celticinorlando]

well that is the poison...i would love for steph to find his offensive game before the cavs

All of the starters are around the same number of minutes right now, between 15-18. That's right about where you want it. Doc has done well. NJ doesn't really have the players to kill us for playing small though.

NJ doesn't have the players to kill anyone.  We need to pull away in the third.

good things:

moore is playing good so far...pierce can get to the bucket everytime and the tempo is a little quicker


bad:
fouls...

[celticinorlando]

love to see house and allen starting raining threes in this half

If they both play the same amount the 2nd half, they will both be around 36 mins for the game.  That is right where they should be, IMHO.

I'm a bit more worried about the times for RA and PP since we've got Cavs on friday, we need them at 100%.
