Raptors (16-17) at Celtics (23-8) 1/2

I really hope Doc doesn't put Williams, Baby, and Scal together again. If Scal comes in, he should play PF.

why no billy???

Yeah ... my major complaint to this point ... Scal should be the last option, not Billy.

Doc is playing Scal out of position. That's the biggest problem here. If anything, put in Billy and the 3 and Scal at the 4.

yeah...doc can't give the game away with scal, sheldon together...just not enough shooting or scoring...best line up is eddie, ray, tony, sheed and baby/perk

Somebody tell Doc.

Not to worry, Shelden already has 3 fouls, plus he gives away way too much height to either Bosh or Bargnani, though you can say the same for Scal and Baby.  Still Baby should be the best defender among those guy plus he has a pulse on the offensive end.  Hopefully Doc keeps gonig to him with Sheed and Perk as the froncourt rotation.

I don't have a problem playing Scal at the 3 against Turk.

Err. Scal in there wasn't the problem. The problem was that we didn't have the quickness to defend their big guys. They were eating us up in the pick and rolls and Bargniani having space to penetrate.

The unit was awful before Scal even got on the floor.

It's true that playing Billy can't hurt us tonight, I wonder why Doc doesn't play him.

[celticinorlando]

not enough scoring esp if eddie isnt hitting shots to play that lineup again

Scalabrine played very good defence on Hedo.

I have no idea why so many people want to see Walker play. Why haven't you followed him in the D-League, he was getting tons of minutes there?

But come on people... Doc has already played 10 players in the game... so let's stop the Billy nonsense.

Plus the games are online right? Or was that just last year.

Anyways Shelden was the one who really killed us, well that and overall lack of offensive direction without Ray/Perk/Sheed. Hopefully we can get by with just Sheed/BBD/Perk for most of the minutes in the second half.

JR hasn't played since the 1st Q. Billy is the last guy off the bench.

I have followed him in the D-League and I've been to Red Claw games to see him, that's another reason why I know that he's a MUCH better player than Scal will ever be, and why I want to see him get minutes with the Celts. Scal does very little to deserve being played and is a detriment on offense.

What does that have to do with anything? JR didn't come back in simply because House was in there, which was obviously Doc's plan to have House help spacing the 2nd unit + finish up the half/game.

JR is back in the 3rd.
