Okay, Chicago is a run n gun teal, small fast shooters mostly, so who would you put in for a spark Walker (YES) TA (YES) both young, fast good defenders and slashers..so DOC puts in Scal, hurt, lost, no offense, never a layup, no rebounds, no D...wait i know you want to say it,,yes , he might hit 1 3 pointer a game...because no one covers him...yaaa......and he has been out for a month or two.....just when i can almost deal with Doc......!

I'd rather have Scal than Moore.  At least he can play defense without fouling.

Co-sign. Scal plays solid defense and spreads the floor. He is rusty but Mikki Moore is just terrible. You can put TA or Walker in WITH scal, they dont play the same positions defensively

This.  Anybody but Moore.  Until Moore learns what the restricted area is and can make contact without fouling every time, I prefer Scal.

Scal doesn't foul because he isn't ever in on the play...he just missed miller totally...because why...he wasn't even in the paint on D..he probably thought it was too crowded with bulls....all he does is run that 1 lane into the corner on offense, no one covers him, so that means it is 5 on 4 ....no offensive rebounds....it is only funny in Boston when he plays....it was so bad Eddy just ran to Scals "spot" to shhot a 3 for us...oh please get him out of there...at laest MM goes into the paint and gets some rebounds......

See...  I disagree.  Scal plays good defense.  He just made a great move to cut off a drive from Gordon (and forced an airball), and he's made two really smart fouls to stop the Bulls in transition.  In terms of being "in on plays", he's averaged more blocks per minute than Moore or BBD, so he's at least been marginally active.

You are simplifying what he does too much. You just described what James Posey did last year on offense. Was it 5 on 4 last year when he was in? And everyone that covers the celtics is pretty much in agreement that Scal is a solid defender. Oh yeah and MM is a TERRIBLE rebounder.

Moore better get a hand on most rebounds, he's seven feet tall and long.  The only problem is my little sister could take the ball away from him when he pulls it down.

Why play Walker or TA, all they would do is stay with their man, shut off the open shots...you have super-scal out there, mezmorizing play..."he is everywhere" if he touches the ball you love him...so do the announcers LOL, he set that pick on the guy who was no where near the play (gordon) if that was MM they would have called it a foul...PP just said we need MORE rebounds.....oh ya, first thing you think of is scal.......

I agree, with Scal active again, Moore shouldn't see the court at all unless the guys ahead of him are all in foul trouble. He fouls everybody all over the court, bogs down the ball movement on offense, and can't hold on to any pass or rebound. What's with his new trend of taking charges in the circle? He's doing it consistently this series.
