Danny says Rondo out a couple weeks...

[Fafnir]

Can we please get Bradley some REAL minutes now? Nothing to lose really

Games, we can lose games.

I'd love to see Bradley get some burn as much as anyone. But there is a reason he's glued to the bench at the moment.

then von wafer. i just dont want to see ray and PP play 40 a game right now. they next games are all very winnable

I think Wafer will pick up a few more minutes.

Hello Bradley and Wafer.

First Doc is the coach if he thinks rondo is hurting himself or the team by playing injured he would sub him, no ifs ands or buts, it is not the finals.

It is really too bad Delonte is out from a team perspective but also it would be really good for him to get some quality starters minutes.  He is a very good backup pg, our true one.  Nate will do fine along with Marquis we really should be ok, but with marquis getting some pg minutes I do worry about ray& paul playing too many minutes.  Which means even though he isn't ready imo its time for Bradley to garner 5-10 minutes every game that rondo is out.  Not junk time either, get him in with starters and see if we can bring the time up to 15 minutes.  His handle isn't there but his defense is strong.

Well, the alternative is burning out Nate by playing him 40 minutes a night, which is bad, or playing Marquis more as a ball handler, which is also bad, or playing Ray too much, which is really bad.

We spent a 1st rounder on the kid so we could have depth at PG.  Might as well take advantage of it.  As long as he can play decent defense (and by all accounts he can), he won't be a big liability out there or anything.

That doesn't mean playing him REAL minutes.  I don't want Avery Bradley playing REAL minutes because that means we are in trouble.  I would not have a problem with Doc playing Bradley sparing minutes to give Nate and Ray rest while Rondo is out.  When Rondo gets back he goes back to the bench unless he proves he should be out there.

Oh and by the way I like everyone else am glad that Rondo is getting the rest.  He needs it.

Well "bad news" that turn out to be good news in my opinion. I've been hoping Doc would "shut down" Rondo for a couple of weeks so he can heal or at least rest his various injuries.

Hopefully his absence won't be too long but I do hope he takes his time and doesn't rush back. Aside from the Atlanta and Orlando games, we should do OK during the next weeks considering the schedule. Let's hope Shaq and JO will be back, and Bradley will make the most of his minutes (I'm actually excited to see him get some meaningful minutes).

And, of course, avoiding another injury to anyone of our (rare) remaining healthy players would be great...
