Celtics (1-0) at Cavs (0-0) 10/27

we are going to see a lot of baby with the big 4..which is good. we need to just post KG and have PP take it to the basket...and play some defense

Though I wonder how long that lasts.  I think that's partly to do with Jermaine (and to less of an extent) Shaq, not knowing the plays.  I wouldn't be surprised to see a little more Jermaine and a little less Baby over the course of the next month.  

It'd be nice to see them utilize some of that size a bit more.

the first foul on JO was awful...clearly a charge

Shaq won't play more than he currently is. He lacks the stamina and is a massive defensive liability in the pick and roll. He'll continue to foul at a high rate, that combined with his stamina issues will prevent him from playing more.

Jermaine O'Neal might see more minutes, but right now he looks lost.

Browsing with ILP, Westbrook just made an eye-popper

They had Jamario Moon stuck on Glen Davis in the post and they don't send a double team?

That double have been sent on the catch.

Are you saying Baby is worthy of double teams?

Likely.  Shaq only played 18.  Wouldn't be surprised to see him play 20-22 on most nights.  I also think Jermaine will eventually play something close to that too.

Cs need to close out on the 3 point shooters. this is a bad cavs team and they are hanging around...need to come out and end them

When Jamario Moon is on him? Hell yes.

When a skinny SF is guarding him, of course he is.

Jamario Moon can't guard Pierce in the post, much less Davis who's what 60 pounds heavier!

I had to giggle at that spin layup by AV.

[barefacedmonk]

[dang]...AV can do that?

[vinnie]

Keep the pedal to the metal boys

[Fafnir]

Over the back and no call on the goal tend?

[Drucci]

That's more like it. The defense is up a notch and we're running! Sessions and Parker taking very complicated shots is helping, too.

[vinnie]

Have to bury this piece of crap team. Keep your focus guys and you can end this quickly
