This is such non-news. Of course he wants minutes.

Moore didn't show much defensively in the preseason. Too small to guard forwards and bigger guards, too slow-footed to stay with quicker guards. He'll stick around because he can shoot, but I'm not sure he'll be as good as people expect him to be.
Glad I wasn't the only one to notice this.

He needs to supersede Bradley, quickly.  We need OFFENSE, Bradley is the antithesis of that.

He'll get his chance tonight with all the starters sucking wind.

He better...Seriously, I love him over Bradley.

Ditto. Avery is just looking more and more like a failure.

I'm glad he wants to play, who wouldn't be?

But I wanna see him earn it. Work hard in practice, do all the little things, show that you deserve to be out there and then play.

Not to turn this into a Doc-bashing thread, but it's well established that Doc puts guys, especially rookies, on the bench and just will not play them.
It's well-established that Doc will not play guys who haven't proven that they possess a reliable, NBA-caliber skill.

Of course he's too small to guard forwards.  But he may have some potential to be a rotational combo guard, and he can guard some 1's and 2's adequately now, with just a couple of weeks of rookie preseason.

Why not, Avery isn't a backup.

Doc wants to establish Bradley because of his speed and his defense. He also knows the system better.

Through the first 2 games the Celtics have averaged 105.5 PPG, shot 51.4% from the field, 58.3% from three, 77.8% from the line.

The Celtics currently ranks last in the NBA in just about every defensive statistic you can call up.

I would say that given what we have seen thus far, we have plenty of offense and need defense desperately.

Oh...so when Nenad Krstic went from being a starter on a Western Conference playoff team to playing even more minutes for Boston to averaging less than 6 minutes a game in the playoffs against New York, when exactly did the magical fairy wave her wand and take away Krstic's "reliable, NBA-caliber skill"?  Was it two minutes before tip off of Game 1 against the Knicks?  Did the fairy send Doc a tweet to let him know that he could stop playing Krstic because he was going to lose his "reliable, NBA-caliber skill"?  Or did Doc just devine it like the guy from The Dead Zone by touching Krstic on the arm?

Odd. I feel like he plays guys like that all the time.

This Bradley/Mpore business is really a moot point. Once Pierce and Pieteus are ready, neither will play and both might end up in street clothes.
