they'd all foul out. But Walkers recent minutes are very important to his future.

Foul out. Except Pruitt, but we already know how Pruitt did.

Marbury himself must start playing better though. This is not enough.

Pruitt's shown very little to suggest he's anything but ordinary at best.

I'm not overly impressed with anything Marbury's done, but I don't want a playoff game decided by a morbid fascination with youth.

Walker I like. Seriously doubt Giddens will amount to any more than Pruitt.
Coined the CelticsBlog term, "Euromistake."

I agree.  I'd also suggest that the sentence "Pruitt is a good shooter" be disallowed unless his numbers start backing it up.  He's shot only a little better than Rondo this year - over the last couple of months, Rondo's actually been better.

I'm a little more optimistic about Giddens, but given the lack of data on him that's an argument not worth making in either direction.

Pruitt would probably score more but he's never been a PG period. I don't like his game. I'll admit I was skeptical when Marbury was brought in but he's done a good job of shutting me up even though his shooting has been subpar. He's playing defense and taking good shots that are in the flow of the offense (for the most part). He's doing what's been asked of him, and you can tell even in passing moments that he's not just your ordinary basketball player.

Worse.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.
