Mikki Moore

[bruinsandceltics]

I know we love to hate and love to make fun of him but he did a commendable job tonight in his limited minutes.

I was so happy for him because even though he isn't very good he works hard and the refs never give him a break.

So Good game Mikki!

[PosImpos]

Yeah, I actually saw him take a legit charge.  It was magical.

I don't hate Moore one bit, and yes, he deserves to be recognized for his contribution tonight.  He has heart and always plays hard.  I think he'd do even better with some real time to learn the system.

I don't hate him either afterall he is a Celtic and I hate no one on the C's but my point was he takes a lot of slack, so I just wanted to recognize him tonight.

Four points in three minutes, couple of rebounds and a great job taking the charge from Miller. And, he was on the floor the last three minutes of the second quarter when we got the lead to double digits. Nice job, Mikki.

[yagru]

good job Mikki.. He def gets a bad wrap from the refs.. hopefully he can build on tonight and start contributing at least more than he has.. it would be big!

[kheeko]

hopefully he can do something for us against orlando

[Drucci]

It was nice to see Mikki play well in a limited time when everybody (including Doc) had given up on him, I hope he'll perform well against Orlando.

[Roy Hobbs]

Mikki played like a legitimate NBA player.  Kudos to him.

[CoachBo]

Yup. For the first time in a long time, he didn't hurt us when he was on the floor.

Kudos.

I'm not sure how much of a compliment "Not hurting us" is, but that's what he did last night, and for that we are impressed, we salute Mikki Moore and your ability to not hurt us. 

[Redz]

Mikki & Marbs both had positive minutes last night.

I dont know where that hate-talk comes from when we talk about Mikki Moore. IF GIVEN the chance he will provide us with big presence and lots of energy but there are people who are not having any of it.  Eddie House is in the same categorie as Mikki Moore as far as some people are concerned.

How about the coach opened up his f-ing eyes for a change and start using his squad!  I know it is annoying talk always putting the blame on the coach, but we got to realise that the coach is the most important person in keeping the players happy. 

Having Eddie House in the game is simply FUN FUN FUN to watch as he has so much energy.  The energy that other players get from him will gear up others who are hanging their heads (Pierce does that often).

If we are to progress through to the Finals we need to utilise our squad, people. I am being very negative as I always thought we would not go any further than to the 2nd round where Orlando would beat us but I have a feeling we can put one over them if Doc utilises the bench more.

Agree 100% "thedawg"...We don't have an incredible bench this year ( understatement ) but I thought Doc's lack of using whatever bench he does have was one of the biggest factors in the Chicago series being as difficult as it was. Our starters were just being pummeled with the minutes and I don't think they had the right legs down the stretch in most of the games.

Doc simply has to work with what he has and get these guys involved. I think all of them can give us solid contributions. I'd give:

Moore > 8-10 minutes rest for Perk
Scal > 8-10 minutes rest for Baby
TA 8-10 minutes rest for Pierce ( use Scal another 8 min if you don't like TA...)
Eddie > 8-10 minutes rest for Ray
Marbury > 8-10 minutes rest for Rondo

If these guys are doing great, let them run longer and continue to rest the starters as much as possible as you move this series so they can be rested as much as possible for Clevland.

I have complete confidence that our starting unit can take each and every game hom down the stretch if they have fresh legs come the fourth quarter.

We don't have a great bench but they can contribute if Doc mix and matches them right.

Mikki did much more than not hurt the Celtics tonight. Hard to believe, but those three minutes he played were critical and he was basically perfect in that short period.
