Krstic and Green's first game as Cs.

[get_banners]

[Yeah, it's gonna take some time for him to get used to not taking nearly as many shots as he did before. 

Picking up players who were starters or primary offensive options from other teams and turning them into role players who take relatively few shots worries me somewhat.  Some guys need to be in a rhythm and play extended minutes to make a large impact. 

Nate Robinson is a great example of a player who just didn't work out for us because he is much better as a high volume / rhythm player than a guy who plays spot minutes off the bench.  Whereas Posey was much more a career backup contributor.

I'm not that worried about Green. He's been incredibly unselfish since his Georgetown days, so it's not going to throw his game off if he isn't taking a lot of shots. He also doesn't force a lot, either. He just needs to get used to his teammates and the playbook.

We're like 29-33 from the line... how about that.

Krstic is shooting around 80 % from the ft line this year, around 72 % for his career.

yea, take away Perk and Shaq and we are an excellent FT shooting team

Do not forget rondo too.

I don't really care how much better Krstic played tonight than we feared he would.

To me this is like when your little bro has an awesome awesome hot as hell and smart girlfriend, and then he does something totally idiotic and loses her, and then three weeks later he has a new girlfriend that he picked up at the local tramp hangout.

And you're like "Oh please please please don't be trash. Please don't have 3 neck tattoos like all the other chicks in that place"

So you meet her and she only has one neck tattoo and she speaks English and she's pretty nice, and she's ok looking.

And you're like "Whew. Dodged a bullet right there. Coulda been way worse. I'm still not Facebook unfriending his ex.  No freaking way."


So Krstic had an ok first game.

Big freaking deal.

It's also like when my dog was getting a bit older and my parents brought in two new dogs and expected me to just like them reasoning that it wasn't the new dog's fault that they got them.

Whatever.  I'm not petting those dogs and I don't want anything to do with them.  You walk them.

LOL. Eja is on a roll.

Seriously, I just brought this up in yet another thread in which Eja felt he had to go and spread his negativity.

Cause there's just so much to be positive about?  The Pats played like garbage last time I checked and the Celts just traded a great great player.

You be positive about it.  And why don't you tell KG and PP they were just being melodramatic while you're at it.

Haha just what I was thinking. If Perk is a great great player, what do we call Rondo or the big 3? What would one call Bird?  Great^100 ?

Lot of policing going on by people who are for this trade...and the funny thing is none of them are mods.

Negative, non-sense, ridiculous, dumb...all very frequently used words in the past 48 hours.

We're not allowed to use the word negative now? Come on barefaced.. now you're just reaching for straws.

Krstic played with good energy. Green looked decent.  I thought the guy who turned the game around was Delonte. He is going to be huge for our second unit. He is feeling his shot. Rondo was atrocious, must have had 7 turnovers tonight, if they are honest. His head was in the clouds (thinking about his buddy Perk). He redeemed himself a bit in the second half, but still was very careless with the ball, very unrondolike.

Yeah, I'm very concerned about Rondo's play post-trade.  It's only been a couple games, and it just happened, so it's understandable.  But I'm worried about the effect that losing his best friend and teammate will have on his game.
