pierce better be ready..it is going to be the melo show...and a lot of pick and roll

[TheBigFive]

I love BBD. Love how he's late on rotations. Love how he can't defend his own man nor give legimate help on help D. Love how he's talking to Melo nonstop with a little smirk on his face.

The man's head is in the gutter seriously. I'd rather see Vinnie Baker playing over him right now.

Glen Davis better not see the floor in the 2nd half.

[hpantazo]

How can Green not hook up with Rondo on some fast breaks when both of them are outrunning everyone else? It looks like they are each running their own fast break.

Big Baby's basketball IQ hasn't gone up a point in three years in the league

[celticinorlando]

at least the Cs aren't in foul trouble. they need to knock these guys out

[tenn_smoothie]

I really like what I see out of Green when he's on the floor.  His real problem is that he just doesn't play a position of need for us right now.  Krstic is useless, but it might be better to have him out there instead of Davis....

what is it exactly that you like so much ??


he's tentative, he's lost on offense, gets pushed around underneath, doesn't protect the defensive boards and is soft, soft, soft.

if his "real" problem is that he doesn't fill a position of need for us, then why did we give up so much to get him ?

[BASS_THUMPER]

ill worry bout how this season ends when it ends...

rite now we in it and we still ballin...

picture me rollin like 2pac~

That's exactly right.  These are our guys.  And they are our ONLY ticket to 18 this year.

thats right!!..our Cadillac got a full tank of gas and we headed for L.A..!!

Do you think if Baby fouls out Doc will try to sneak him into the game?

This is just getting ridiculous.  Why Baby came in to begin with is beyond me.  

Who you going to put in there instead, though?  Krstic?  Jeff ****' Green?  Dropkick?  Play KG and JO 42 minutes each?

I don't want him in never.  But with JO sitting out the first half of the second quarter, there was no reason for BBD to come back in for the final 2 minutes.  

JO has played 13 minutes so far...on pace to play 26 minutes, not 42.

No Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. about JO's minutes.  If Baby ain't playing, though... there's still the question of who is.  We're basically Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ed because our bench still sucks, at almost every position.  Baby, Krstic, Wunderkind Jeff Green, ain't a one of them has show they deserve any playing time at all... but there ain't nobody on the bench behind them that's any better.

[barefacedmonk]

Jeff Green and Krstic have given us nothing so far...and that includes the regular season games too.

I really like what I see out of Green when he's on the floor.  His real problem is that he just doesn't play a position of need for us right now.  Krstic is useless, but it might be better to have him out there instead of Davis....

So far he is just a body that subs in when Paul needs his rest. He was supposed to add that much needed offensive punch to our bench..at least that's what Mr. Ainge told us...but what has Green done so far? Who was the throw in that trade? Green or Krstic?

[birdwatcher]

Knicks shooting under 33% but are outrebounding us by 9, 8 offensive. Instead of keeping Green on the perimeter, why not have him crash the boards like he did in the last two games of the season? We're more worried about slowing down their fastbreak and getting back on D that we let ourselves get outrebounded.

[celticinorlando]

the second unit has given this team nothing so far...i am just baffled how we trail at the half to this sorry team

[Errn]

How can Green not hook up with Rondo on some fast breaks when both of them are outrunning everyone else? It looks like they are each running their own fast break.

Because Green doesn't know how to position himself.

[Marcus13]

Charles Barkley just made me laugh though;

"That Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. aint happenin" LOL

[celticinorlando]

jeffries getting the knicks a ton of second shots...boston has to limit that...
