Raptors (6-9) at Celtics (11-4) 11/26

we really miss west and JO

Yeah, it's a much better bench with those two.

It is still not as good as when we had Posey.

[slamtheking]

cripes, Ray had a layup and threw it out to PP for a contested 3.  yuck

how do we even know? we haven't had a complete team all year

[Fafnir]

The bench this year will be much better than in 07-08 if West/O'Neal/O'Neal/Perkins are all healthy.

i think doc's plan was to play the bench the entire 4th but the way they came out and gave away a 19 point lead he had to put the starters back in

Hard to tell...hardly seeing them play and all...

No he left ray in there, he was going with his normal rotation.

Then the Raptors went small and zoned us effectively.

[vinnie]

They need to figure out away to stop playing Davis and erden at the same time. The defense is justbawful when they are out there.

we haven't had the full bench yet.  I would say this bench would be far better when healthy:
A better BBD, Shaq/JO/Erdin is better than Powe/PJ, Nate/Delonte/Daniels/Wafer is better than House/Posey/Cassell.

[vinnie]

Glen Davis takes waY too many jump shots

[Tenacious D]

This bench just isn't good enough. We used to get great play off the bench during the championship season. Now...not so much.

It bears repeating that this is not the bench that was meant to be. JO: hurt. West: suspended/hurt. Perk: 'habbing. Semih: hurt but playing. Quis: now you see him now you dont. Doc might be better off doing more mix/matching with bench/starters but what can reasonably be expected?

had to leave ray in because they had nobody else...i expected ray would have been in there for a little bit and then wafer replaces him...

looked like the C's got away with a foul on that steal before BBD got the ball

Not possible, not with Shaq's minute limitations.

I don't agree. I think House (2 years agoi) and Posey are better than West, Robinson, and Daniels. Posey was better than any one of those guys.
