Scal-0 0 0 0 lines, but the intangibles

House-A pretend Point-Guard

Sheed-Reggie Miller He is not.


Hang in there C's, this just begun.

Gotta love those intangibles.

Might as well Rest Ray. 44mins from him in a lose is not worth it. Couples of loses don't matter much as long as we can keep everyone healthy. Time to cut Ray's minutes.

Doc MUST stop playing Ray so long, even in blowout or easy wins. He played 39 Sunday and 44 yesterday...

i still dont understand why people think bill walker is going to get any burn...even with PP out. He isn't. Neither is Giddens. they are practice bodies only. It is well time danny move those 2 and Scal for a bench player that can contribute somewhere. No it isnt a panic move...it is a move that should and needs to be done.

Same thing with Rondo.  I am a Doc apologist, and I understand how hard it is to do in the heat of the moment when you are trying to win a game...but he needs to bite the bullet and get these guys some rest.  And if he really has that little confidence in Walker and Giddens, Danny needs to give him something more to work with.

Please stop with Scall and the intangibles. He is terrible and should not ever see the court. This whole intangible thing is a huge joke.

Its not even "intangibles".  Scal's value is that he is a good team defender, and an exceptional 1 on 1 defender against perimeter big men, and "power 3's", while not taking anything off the table offensively (he spaces the floor well, knows where to be, and doesn't make many mistakes).  However, he is a terrible rebounder, and while not taking anything off the table, does not add anything offensively. 

Basically, he is a prototypical 11th or 12th man.  He can step in to play a few minutes against certain matchups, and has the flexibility to defend several positions in case of injury/foul trouble.  However, if you get to the point where he needs to be part of the rotation (where they are right now)...particularly at SF, which is not his best position...then you are in trouble, because that is not where his value lies. 

Right now this team is in a tough spot, because they simply don't have anyone else who they trust enough to be out there, but they also don't want to pull the trigger on a move yet, because they think Pierce will be back soon, which will make things OK.  Personally, I am not confident Pierce will be fine that soon (infections are tricky), so I think they should really consider bringing someone in (maybe on a 10 day contract after January 5), and cutting one of the guys they clearly do not think are NBA players loose.

at this point we are getting zero from the bench. Q and baby hurt...sheed looks old, uninterested and bored....house is building new buildings with all his bricks, Scal...welll is just scal....and giddens/walker are just practice guys. the bench stinks right now
