Bucks (14-20) at Celtics (16-17) 2/29

[Tgro]

Possible triple double watch for Rondo? 15 points, 8 assists, 9 rebounds tonight

All anyone wants is some consistency from the dude.

[jdz101]

Does Ilyasova have an game besides standing under the basket?

He's a garbageman....and hes pretty nifty at it

[Chief]

I know the 3 ball is his thing but Ray never fills a lane on the break. He seems to just run out to the 3 point line.

Which isn't a problem ... unless Rondo refuses to drive.

Not the way I'd coach a player. At least not every time.

I'm getting a little you don't like Doc theme coming through.

I don't. But Ray's fast break 3 point shot is more on him than the coach. I remember him doing that in Seattle. When it works it's pretty, but it's not the most efficient way to fast break IMO.

Dude, he rebounds....alwys, watch off the ball too....and the small guys flying in..it is because someone else lost their man.....steam covers the paint....no second chance opp's...no cheap put backs......easiy covers and bodies big men.....hey, you can have your opinion...no need to go back and forth.....steam is a guy i would use, then set up on the block..he also passes in and out of the block well, and makes good ball decisions..look up his to's..or lack of......he most often has a hand on a tip....the only thing that is stopping his advancement is doc......he was shooting .700.....there even was an artice in celtics blog about him,,,pretty much as i have said....

Stiemsma is a below average rebounder and a poor post defender.  The weak-side shot blocking is nice but other than that he doesn't bring a lot to the table at this point.

So he's kinda your average Celtic now, only younger in need of pt so he can develop and learn?

No he just kinda isn't that good. He is going on 27 after all. If he hasn't got game now, he's never gonna have it.

So instead of being a bad player that doesn't care and can't run he is a bad player that can run and presumably cares, because he wants an nba career?

I don't care what his attitude is, he's not better than any of the players playing in front of him.

That was a nice quarter.  The quick 5 at the end of Q2 was big.

Recent history tells us that the C's will let the Bucks back. Let's see if they can step on the gas.

I thought we agree to trade Dooling ?

Dooling runs the break like Ray.

Except Kg when he gets lazy and settles for long jumpers with nobody under the basket to rebound and Jermaine O'Neal at all times.

I love KG in the post. Stay down there Teen Wolf.

[Kiorrik]

Looked like some kind of red bag.

[SHAQATTACK]

KG throwing down

[Chief]

I really did not think Dooling could dunk. Who knew?
