Rasheed's threes aren't falling like they were, so he's posting up more. His defense has also been very impressive, especially his ability to deny the ball in the post. He might be one of the best post players in the game offensively and defensively, I'm 100% sure that we will be seeing a lot more of that in the half.

KG doesn't have the fight in him to battle on the offensive boards (17 games this season without a single offensive board, double digits in TRB's only 6 times)

Perk has stepped up nicely but the TO's have started to add up a little. I'd like to see him get more touches now that KG is back so that he can gain some confidence with the doubles before the playoffs

Pierce has been awesome when he's not injured. Although I'd like to see him lay off on the superman routine a little, but sometimes we DO need it.

Ray has been cold, he seems a step slower defensively, and it seems like he's made more key mistakes. But he could easily hit a hot streak and make us completely forget about all this.

TA has been excellent. Him and Rondo create serious havoc in the opponent's back court, and the RR/TA fast break has been the difference in a few games this year.

Outside of outside shooting, Marquis might be the most completely wing player I've seen. And I'd like to see more...

Big Baby is the round mound of inconsistency, there really isn't much more to say.

Shelden fumbles the ball too much and has very little offensive game, i find myself screaming at him all the time. But i feel like he'll come up big defensively at some point... or he'll get thrown into a trade to make the numbers match.

Eddie House is having his worst three point shooting year since his horrible career start in Miami. I've also seen a couple steps back defensively, constantly jumping at ball fakes and allowing open shots as the shot clock expires (a HUGE killer when your trying to build or stop a run). In other news, Eddie might also be the worst fast break guard I've ever seen.

I'd give Rondo an A- because of his all-star play, but at times his defense has been of the swiss variety. Although i do understand that when he gets that steal it gets us VERY easy baskets (plus he does lead the league in steals)

I'm expecting to see more Bill Walker in the second half. The way he plays is tough, hard, and aggressive, i feel like all three of those things could be kicked up a notch on this team.

JR.... slow down.

Tyronn Lue, if we don't get a backup PG i could see you being just that. Seeing as in how you are the perfect backup PG for our system, don't turn the ball over, can hit the open three, gets your teammates good looks.

And last..........SCAL! I am 100% for you coming back next year at the minimum. As i'm pretty sure your draw a charge every game you play in, no matter how long your actually in there. Plus your an awesome glue guy
