It's obvious a big man is needed in the middle .   Playing without any center downright Stupid.

This team is hurting so bad for centers .  Pretty much anybody will make some difference from size alone. If I was 7 ft I could help.


Zeller is doing a good job , given his amount of actual playing experience., and being on a sorry team like the Celtics.

Danny is responsible for this pike of crap team with no center.

Zeller is a good tuff backup .

I guess until Wallace and his contract leave town ....Danny isn't going to spring for a professional center to put on his horribly under talented team.

Word for word agreed

He's a backup center on a good team. I like what he's doing, don't get me wrong , but we need a real defensive rim protector . I wonder if Zellar is capable of playing PF , two 7 footers shutting down the lane would be good too.

If Zeller's a backup center on a good team, the Celtics should probably be a playoff team if they had a merely average rather than very good starting center on a good team.

I think this proves the C's need a star more than they need a "legit" center.

Anytime you have less KO and Sully, your defensive stats are going to go up.
