Not sure if Scal is eligible.  If so, the Cs need his potential for making 3s and his passing to spread the court.  Williams, while a better rebounder, is playing terrible and should not dress.  

I don't think the problem is the Cs defense, it's the offense...they need to be more aggressive, make the extra pass, and make shots. I know they were out-rebounded...however, if they make the layups and uncontested jumpers they missed then it should balance out.

If Perk is too hurt to dress they both probably will dress.

I agree.  If nothing else, Scali does a better job putting his body on his man when the shots go up.

At least Scal has a day to get his mind and body ready.

If Scal does anything at all tomorrow I think we should immediately sign him to an extension at the vet min.

Sheldon has been SO FRUSTRATING to watch in these playoffs/finals.

First he gift-wraps 6 points to the Lakers in the closing moments of the 1st half in game 2 (i believe) and then last night he missed the dunk. He just looks lost out there and Scal would be loose as he has essentially been trying out to take Gary Tanguay's job during the pre-game interviews.

Seriously, Tanguay and Donny Marshall have been saying "ok so let's now go to our Simmons sideline reporter Greg Dickerson with our very own Boston Celtics Insider Brian Scalabrene".

Agreed.  Scal doesn't rebound, but at least he blocks out his man (preventing his opponent from grabbing rebounds).  Shelden can't rebound, and he can't catch.  Basically, he's useless.

I would play Williams ahead of Scalabrine but I would only have Shelden on the court if matched up against Powell or Mbenga.

Otherwise, I'd be giving Garnett/Sheed/Davis all of the available minutes.

We know these things about Scal:

•   He is not a great player
•   Compared to LA he is undersized and slow
•   His conditioning is suspect

We also know these things about Scal

•   He is well-rested, uninjured and has fresh legs
•   He plays well on the road
•   On a good night he can hit 3’s and stretch the floor
•   He can play physical
•   He knows how and when to give a hard foul, and he has 6 of them
•   He plays a smart veteran game under pressure
•   We’ve seen everything LA has.  Scal brings us a look LA hasn’t seen
•   LA will give him even less respect than he gets on this board, and he can make them pay.
•   This is probably his last game in green, and his first finals appearance in green.  He is playing for his legacy.


Bring him on.

I am up for playing Scal, he is a sound defender and while he doesnt win games for us he never loses a game for us either.

Both shouldn't play unless the's absolutely no choice. We need KG and Sheed to play smart and avoid foul trouble as much as possible. I'm sure Phil will try to go inside early.

Did you guys see Tommy and Mike interview Scal last night.  There were a bunch of unintentional comedy moments.  First of all, Scals bottom bottom was bursting at the seems and you had a great view of Scals naval for most of the interview.  And then Mike and Tommy seemed to both me making fun of a potential for Scal to play, and even hit a game winning shot on Thursday.  But they were basically making fun of Scal, right in front of him.  He didn't really seem to know what to say.

How about neither?  A thread about two worthless pieces of dung...and we're worried which one will dress for a game in which neither should ever play, unless we're up by 40 with 30 seconds to play?  Too funny...

Yes, bring on Brian Scalabrine. It's not like he'll ever throw a bad inbounds/outlet pass.

Don't play either of them.
