Don't want Bibby.



Let Avery handle the minutes for now.  He has two games to prove what he could do.   Just make sure he is on the floor with Pierce.



If he fails, then sign a third PG and send Avery to the D-League to play PG.

This is exactly how I feel.

Bill Walker played so few minutes when he was with the Celtics that he was petrified when he played. The same thing is gonna happen to Avery if he doesn't get on the court somewhere.

I'm hoping Miami/Chicago fall off so we can give Avery some more regular minutes without sacrificing the #1 seed.

Major Suckage. But its only a sprain. On the bright side if there is one, Avery Bradley is FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Hoping Doc doesn't overplay Rondo just to avoid playing a Rook. Doc its OK to give minutes once in while to the rookie. No better time than tonight. FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Avery Bradley.
Aaaaaaah!  I'm sick of injuries!

I'm going to put the probability that, including the playoffs, Jermaine O'Neal plays more games than Delonte West at 50%.  I think West is more likely to have an injury that he just can't play with under any conditions, while J-Owww is more likely to have something that he would be willing to play through in the playoffs but would try to rest in the regular season.

Avery Bradley sucks. If we have to play him minutes we are in trouble.

Let him play. Defending the opponent PG, playing off-the-ball offensively. Bradley was out of form at the start of the season, the injury situation hold him back, his defense is NBA ready and he's a solid shooter. Don't ask him to run the offense and he won't embarrass anyone.

And some people dismissed my thread "We desperately need a backup point guard." ::)

Told you Delonte can't stay healthy.  Totally unreliable in that regard.

it's a sprained ankle, a minor, common basketball injury. Delonte will be fine in a few days

Hard to believe, but I think Delonte has played fewer games this year than JO!

You think TJ Ford would be willing to play for us? Does he have ties to Miami, Chicago or Orlando?

doc said in the bostonglobe that theyd play delonte if this was the playoffs and they are just being cautious...

I think youll see that alot these last 25games before the playoffs...any small injury that happens, the player will be rested...especially if miami falls behind boston with the tough schedule they are facing
