Do the Celtics Need a Pure Point Guard Off the Bench?

Rajon's minutes will go down next year because of Avery Bradley.  In the regular season at least.  I see him being exactly what west is now, shifting to the 2 with Rajon and the 1 to rest him.  He is a fantastic defender already and will only get better, he has some length and has an offensive game that we'll see is very impressive next year when he understands he doesn't have to try and be Rondo.  I believe he could be the C's best scorer off the bench next year.

One thing about ABradley; The Cs should trade him up while he still has some value. 

Bradley lacks the two things you can't teach to be a PG or a SG, 1)he lacks the dribble to be an effective PG 2)he lacks the shooting and height to be an effective SG.

He is a fearless defender and that will keep him in the league as a backup especialist, but I'd be surprised if he amounts to much more.  I like the kid, but it is what it is.....

I don't understand why they looked so good the first week or 2 after the trade.  Now they play like they're afraid.

Well, they have one in Carlos A, who's gathering dust on the shelf for whatever reason. Delonte is the latest in the ongoing experiment with 2's at the one. As it did on his first tour, it may be messing with his shot.

Someone mentioned in another post something to me which makes great sense.  It garned a tp from me.  Along the lines of the celtics have their starters then guys off the bench who play multiple posistions.  To me this makes the rotation tighter and gives guys more time to get their game going while at the same time giving starters rests and making sure to always have 2 or so starters playing.
subs:
jeff green sf and pf
glen davis pf and c
delonte west pg and sg

I personally am happy with delonte as a backup, he was a starter for cleveland last year.  Of course we are going to have a drop off with rondo out, he's a top 5 pg in the nba.  However when delonte is playing well he can fill a stat sheet.  No he is not a pure pg but 10 minutes to give rondo a rest and the other time have him giving ray a rest is perfect.
expect a breakout game from delonte today

I agree.  They were playing great after the trade.  Especially Kristic.  I think BBD was injured then, and Kristic was getting his shots.

It's simple...Doc Rivers.

We kept our offense simple right after the trade.

Players played free.

After a while, you try to teach the new guys the playbook and it goes to crap.

This happened with Toine part deux to when we won 11 out of 12 right after the trade and then finished the season 7 - 8.
