Big Baby is the problem...More minutes for Williams

[pearljammer10]

Big Baby is corrupting the second unit and disrupting the flow of this team; chemistry, locker room, distractions. You name it... How about this.

We began the season with Baby injured and Sheldon getting a majority of the minutes at the PF in the second unit...Nearly 20 minutes a game. During this time, Sheldon played very well. The team? We went 22-5

Big Baby returns... The team? has gone 10 - 12! With Big Baby in the second unit lineup we are a below 500 team!

Now obviously there are many reasons this team is in a slump but I just dont think Big Baby is right for this team. The only things Baby has done this year is; act immature by fighting, scream at fans, and get blocked by everyone in the NBA. Sure he hustles but Id rather has Scal hustling in there... Big Baby should be traded, he is a problem causer. He didnt get the contract he wanted, now he is acting up because of it and is greatly hurting the team...10 - 12! Please involve him in any trade, or give Sheldon a run once again.

I agree with every thing you said. 

[pearljammer10]

Well... thank you.

I disagree. I think that with Quisy, we have a very strong second unit. It's our starting 5 that is the problem...

I disagree.  I think the problem is Rasheed Wallace.  If you want to take away minutes take minutes away from Wallace.  He's been putrid offensively.  He has played solid defense, but I do think Williams could do just as well and would be a much better offensive rebounder and would make this team a lot tougher.

I like Baby alot but I agree he hasn't been right in a lot of ways. I wouldn't mind seeing alot more of Shelden. Why not at least try it. We might find that Shelden and baby actually make the best tandem off the bench...

But sometimes it takes Doic 20-50 games to make an adjustment...

i think we are probably showcasing Baby.  I don't think Baby wants to be in Boston and I don't think Boston wants him either.

I disagree. Doc should take minutes away from Sheed and divide it between Baby and Shelden.

Rasheed's problem is his off ball defense. When the other team gets penetration, he does a terrible pf just fouling rather than make a play. His on ball defense IMO has been very good. He makes the entry pass very difficult and makes his opponent shoot over his long arms.

Shelden on the other hand, is too small to guard centers. He was playing very well at the beginning of the season but before he got demoted we saw him returning to his old self. His jumper wasn't falling, FT% went down and he cannot catch a pass for his life.

Sheldon is very overrated on this board and Rasheed is very underrated. Sheed is on the bench for a reason! He is on the decline and to expect stater production from is him is unreasonable. Put into context, not many teams have a big like Rasheed coming off their bench. We are lucky to have him.

But to the topic, Baby has been playing a very well as of late

[Rtpas11]

No he's not. it's Rajon Rondo. he makes the team go. when he's not agressive the team fail. The starters tonight are the reason the C's lost, the bench played far better and Glen Davis played good.

Why all the Baby bashing in recent weeks? I think he has been one of the more productive players on our team lately.

[jdpapa3]

People going after our best bench player in recent weeks and our only offensive rebounder? 

[Bankshot]

People going after our best bench player in recent weeks and our only offensive rebounder? 

Exactly.  He has been playing well.  The Baby hate is absurd!

It can only be hate. If it's not, why start a thread like this after he's played well and within the system?

Baby has been productive, Sheed has not, but a thread is started saying Baby is the problem.

[P2]

a thread is started saying Baby is the problem.

And like several times a week.

Agreed.  It's 4 of the starting 5 having regressed since the start of the season that is hurting the team.
