E'Twaun Moore

[apc]

Moore is confident.
which is exactly what the rest of our bench is lacking.
Pietrus will shoot the 3s but will not drive.
the others pass on open shots, and keep looking for KG or PP to save them.

let Moore play, and will see some bench points.

[CDawg834]

No

I dont see why Sasha Pavlovic hasnt gotten minutes though....Hes probably better than ray allen, mickael pietrus and marquis daniels at this point....is he hurt? makes no sense...hes a gritty defender and can shoot

I don't think Sasha's that gritty a defender...how many times have you seen him get right up on a guy and then commit a cheap foul, then stand there with a ridiculous "who me?" face?

With the quickness of Philly's guards, I don't think Doc trusts him to keep up with these guys.  I would agree he would be more useful than Ray at this point.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

I want Moore because of his familiarity against Evan Turner.

These guys went at it at college and im pretty sure he's going to be familiar on how to defend him.

And as apc said, he's full of confidence.

Since we don't have any other option other than him, Quis or Sasha, why not.

DOC play E'Twaun!

[CelticG1]

Off topic but Pietrus has been atrocious.

Completely playing because of reputation but he hasn't been right in months. This is a guy who we thought should have been starting over ray before Bradley emergence.

For how much Ray has fallen off with this injury Pietrus is still a much worse option

[wdleehi]

I still go with the guy that has proven to be an NBA player in game 7.


This is not the time to throw out guys who have been nothing but garbage time players. 

[Capricious]

I feel sasha is the most solid out of the remaining options, but I hes not a good matchup against lou or holliday on the defensive end.

Hell, why not roll out Moore.

You have a point, but E'Twaun was anything BUT garbage in that 27-pt comeback vs ORL - on the ROAD.

If Doc does this it could definitely be seen by the guys on the team as "Doc's giving up and developing the young guys." If the evidence for Moore playing is "we don't know much about him and it might work out so let's take a shot" it's not taking into account the chemistry of a team.

The playoffs aren't the best time to experiment.

So keep rolling out the bricklaying combo of allen, peaches, dooling?

Another good point.

I'd hope by now, though, that Team Chemistry would've permeated throughout the ENTIRE team, but I guess I'm being a bit too optimistic.

L O L.
Not a chance!

If the decision is up to Avery then he will 100% play and start.
There is no way Doc is throwing the rookie out there unless Marquis, Ray and Avery all go down in flames.

Big Bad Brandon Bass- it's your time again my man.

[youcanthandlethetruth113]

With Avery unavailable, and Keyon Dooling not adding much on offense, I think its time to give Etwaun a chance. Doc said at the beginning of the post season that Etwaun could potentially be valuable at one point during the playoffs. he has hit big shots on several occasions during the season and I think he should get some
decent minutes in game 7 and further on if we win.

100% agreed. Dooling just dances like an idiot on defense and often gets passed easily by his defender. He's a liability on defense and might make 1-2 3's/game (at best) on offense.

It's clearly time to give Moore a few minutes and see what he does with them...he's earned it and the situation (Bradley's injury) calls for him.

Okay the 27 pt comeback arguement for Moore has to stop. Ive seen it spoken of too many times. You know, even a broken clock gets to be right twice a day.

[OsirusCeltics]

Avery shouldn't have been playing that many minutes in the first place. Doc should just give Moore, Sasha, and Daniels more minutes

[lightspeed5]

its a game 7 with the big 3 era on the line. rookies (other than steamer) will be wearing suits on saturday.
