Should Scal Start Against the Magic (to guard Rashard Lewis)? (merged)

[Redz]

Scal was pretty impressive last night.

His best game as a Celtic.

In short, no Scal, no comeback.

I think starting him might be a little overrated, but giving him more minutes seems to make sense regardless of when they come.

I'd start him.  I just looked at the game flow, and Lewis only scored 5 points when Scal was in the game.  That's very impressive to me.

Yeh, I guess since that's the matchup that matters most and Lewis is starting too, it makes sense at that level, but I guess what I was trying to say is that starting a guy doesn't necessarily translate into more minutes for him. 

That said, I don't think we'll see Doc do it.  Unless they drop the next game or two.
