Celtics (23-7) at Suns (20-12) 12/30

[ManUp]

Scal Sucks.

[RJ87]

Scal Sucks.

That was brutal to watch.

[nickagneta]

Everyone happy. Rondo Ray and Perk are sitting and only played 31, 35 and 30 MPG, respectively, which are not high numbers. Heck Ray and Rondo played below their season averages.

Tony - Scal - Classic

Eddie's 5-7 from downtown is a bright spot, thought, why Eddie, why in a blowout...

Eddie always shoots great in blowouts.

 My point, exactly

[jadams5214]

Look at that hustle from Scal!  Turning the ball over but diving on the floor and possibly injuring Barbosa!  That is what Scal brings to the table --- he tries his best no matter what ha ha!

And he fouled out too what hustle!

[butterbeanlove]

Glenn's rotations at this point are the equivalent of an NFL coach kicking a field goal down 30-0 to avoid a shutout.

Totally about protecting his own resume at the expense of the good of the team. Same old Glenn.

I don't mind the blowout but I can't watch the game anymore because Doc has put Rondo back in the game when it's obvious he is in PAIN, and he keeps Ray and Sheed in the game. What is he trying to do?!

Win a basketball game. It's his freaking job. Everybody has already got your point. If they don't make a run early in the 4th, there'll be plenty of garbage time to watch the scrubs, so quit the drama.

Do you really think you increase your chances of winning this game by overplaying the starters when they let Frye shoot wide open 3's all night long?

No, you just increase your chances of injuring your key players and thus losing more games during the season. Not a good strategy.

Nobody has been overplayed so far and only Ray will in the case if they make a huge run in the next minutes. Rondo play 26 minutes in 3 quarters.

Answering your question: Yes. I'm sure it's the only way of winning the game is playing the remaining starters, especially for a team decimated with injuries.

You were asking Doc to play 3 quarters of garbage time. That's just nonsensical. It'd kill the spirit of the team and be disrespectful to the Suns, the league, the fans and the game.

Yeah but now it should just be the bench and maybe some who can stay with Fry.

Sure, now it's garbage time. 20 point game with 6 minutes to go. But that's now.

No offense guys but, do you know Statler and Waldorf?

But yeh, too bad. Thing is though: Eddie's getting *his* looks, taking *his* shots finally. No dribbling + scoring, we actually look like we have plays for him right now.

Oh really? 35 minutes of Ray Allen as the main offensive option in a blowout is not overplaying? After back to back nights of 38 and 40 minutes? Don't forget the 32 minutes of Rondo when the guy is playing injured.

LESTER!

[Meadowlark_Scal]

The biggest thing scal did all year...foul out in a game, wish he could do that in the first 5 minutes..!

[celticinorlando]

i will be happy when danny ainge decided to get off his butt and go get a complete bench that can contribute and withstand some injuries...they knew daniels was paper when they got him...they knew giddens/walker are practice players....they knew they didnt have a legit #2 pg...they knew scal is WORTHLESS and they knew williams was a bust. sheed had some promise but just doesnt care and baby broke his hand....they bench still is a weakness because it is oft injured and full of scrubs

[celticsclay]

Just tuned in. This sucks, at a glance at least it looks Eddie House had a good game. Guess I will stay to watch Lester and Giddens.

[Kiorrik]

Maybe Doc is actually laughing to himself right now; "Let's put Scal in again! He's funny man, comedy. Pure gold!"
