Pistons (0-2) at Celtics (0-3) 12/30

Missed the game getting an MRI but I love the score and love the lack of minutes played by the starters.

Obviously JO and Bass have had a game. How's the Cap and everyone else looked?

Ray was great as usual, the captain looked pretty healthy and really in control. Great game by him. Rondo and kg looked kinda timid but it's not really been necesarry so...

The bench as a whole looked great too, but gotta keep in mind that it's the pistons

TP thanx for the update.

BTW, anyone else thinking that Steimsma might be the best young player we have on the squad?

What! No! get kg and allen out of there; we the fans demand the rookies

[illestmcsgt]

Why put KG and Ray Ray back in? Doc should put the rookies in to get some playing time.

[Kiorrik]

Doc trying out different groups. I like it.

I know you all want the vets to sit for a bit but I like the way Doc uses this game to test different lineups.

[Drucci]

Up by 18, 7 minutes left, and Doc puts Ray and KG back in instead of Moore and JJJ... uh, what?

[syfy9]

Why ray and kg again? Make no sense

I believe the Pistons are gaining some momentum. Doc wants Ray and KG to crush it.

[Meadowlark_Scal]

Bass 7 for 11..I like that....not like Allen iverson....20 points for 50 shots..LOL....

[Lord of Mikawa]

I think Doc really wants to win.

[nickagneta]

Doc does this early every year...even though they are blowing out a team he keeps playing the vets to get their legs under them with conditioning. Can't say I blame him given the way some of these guys were sucking wind in New Orleans.

Why is Rivers re-inserting the starting lineup in a blowout?

I suppose there is something to be said about respecting the opponent with some much time left.

I think a good compromise would be to incorporate one young guy with a group of vets, rather than all at once.

[PosImpos]

Pistons are probably the worst team in the league.


That said, the C's have looked great tonight.  Really shocking and yet refreshing to see JO playing well on offense and grabbing rebounds, getting a few stops.

Bass continues to beast it.  We really got the better end of that deal.  Glen Davis has done nothing so far in Orlando.

I hope Pierce can keep up that swagga all season long; he really boosts the team with that regardless of his play.  Hopefully injuries don't bog him down.



Now let's see some JJJ!

[steefp2]

Gotta think the rookies aren't gonna see much playing time 'till later in the season when the vets got their rythm back. I guess i understand, just feel like we should rest them in the few games where we actually can.

[Redz]

Why is Rivers re-inserting the starting lineup in a blowout?

So they can blow the lead? 

[Meadowlark_Scal]

ray is getting beat up out there..gotta protect the RAY-man..Steam-Sa is the best show-up yet...! For rooks..!
