Celtics (9-10) at Cavs (8-11) 1/31

[PosImpos]

Is Daniels hurt or has he finally played himself out of Doc's rotation because he has been so bad?

Honestly, with Pietrus, Ray, and Pierce healthy, I don't think Marquis has a place in the rotation.  I'd actually rather them play Sasha.  At least he can space the floor a bit.

Ray Allen with 5 assists in a half.  Go to be an extreme rarity for him.

Spoke too soon.  It's a rarity but maybe not extreme.  He's had 2 13 assist games.   But he is handling the ball better than usual tonight.

Thank God for Bass.

He's helping to offset the All-Star like performance from Andy.

thank god for the bench period.

Bass, Pietrus, Moore, to some extend Bradley... our record doesn't show it, but we've been lucky.

Sasha has done more with his minutes than Quis.  But I think Quis will get a chance to earn minutes.  With the schedule as it is, guys will get hurt, tired, etc.  We'll see if Quis can get back to where he was prior to the injury.

In the Cav's defense: they're not really making an effort getting it out of his hands. Not that much pressure on him, where you should really double on his first or second dribble, that's where he's most turn-over prone.

We've got them right where we need to have them. Just wish we could push these leads up to the 15-20 pt range instead of letting these guys slide back to being down by 4-5 again. I really think if we get up on these guys by a large number, they're done. Can't keep letting these guys hang in there. We should be able to finish these guys off in the 3rd.

[European NBA fan]

I am officially on the Moore-bandwagon. I really prefer him over Bradley, simply because of the confidence he plays with. The offense rarely stalls, when he is in.

[makaveli]

That Varejao is such a great player, wolud be a perfect fit on any team, just like Doc said, especially here in Boston. Much respect for his game...
We have to do a better job rebounding the ball, right now it is under management but it may go out of control...

By the end of the Season , Moore will be a good asset

[Celtics4ever]

I feel that way about Moore too.  The vets seem to trust him more.   However, Avery ain't playing bad tonight.   Sideshow makes JO look eighty on D though.  He has always been a Celtics Killer.  Nice to see the bench come to play unlike last game when they were a no show.

Family movie time, rock the 2nd half guys.

I don't think we should be calling him a Celtics Killer, imo, because that would be selling him short.

Can't stand him though. What most people have against Noah, is what I've got against Varejao. Seen him flop one too many times.

Ray when he was younger was a devastating ball handler, especially in transition. Racked up a lot of assists by pushing the ball.
