Magic Beat Celtics
Another solid effort by Tony Allen. Gomes was sick so Perkins and Jefferson got to play together some. Orlando was just the better team tonight.

Not enough touches for Al. This team is starting to forget how well he has played and isn’t getting him the ball enough. He had his man sealed off several times and they didn’t get it to him, and then he got on a roll and then they forgot about him. They have to recommit to getting him the ball. And where were the pick and rolls from the Cleveland game?

Perk and Al took the same amount of shots – 8. This number is way too low for Al and way too high for Perk. Take all of Perk’s shots and give them to Al, no need to try and develop Perk’s offense that’s not what he’s in there for. Double figures again for Al when his team barely cares to get him the ball. Come back soon Paul you actually passed it to the big guy (the right big guy).
Unless there’s a trade on the horizon Wally should be limited to 20 mins a night.

The good: Al is 5 for 8 in 32 mins.
The Bad: Al only got 8 shots in 32 mins.
The Ugly: Perk goes 1-8 in 27 mins. (to go with 5 fouls).
Lastly, Tony Allen with 7 STEALS…guy almost got a sick triple double.

This game was lost at the start, the gameplan should of been to go into Al ad nauseum from the start to try and get DHoward in foul trouble. Instead the C’s were content to play on the perimeter with their typically awful spacing, and our frontline was the first to get into foul trouble. Also, I find it hard to believe that Powe can’t get any minutes considering this team’s awful frontline. If you don’t think he can play in the NBA why not just cut him and bring another big man in?
Orlando had 2 things going for them tonight ( 1 ) Wally Szerbiak, ( 2 ) was Kendrick Perkins, both of them played too much tonight. Wally’s jump shot is killing the C’s when he’s not hitting and he’s not been hitting for some time now, and still Doc plays him as though he’s the best player on the floor, that puzzles me.
Perkins is getting the ball on the key and looks to pass, he looks like a robot programmed to pass the ball and he’s doing a horrible job of playing that spot and passing the ball, still Doc continues to use him for that play.
The C’s need a coach that knows how to coach the point guards first then they need a coach to recognize that Wally shouldn’t be playing anymore than 10 minutes per game, then they need that same coach to tell Gerald Green to take his man one on one and don’t pass the ball back when he has his man one on one.
Boston got rebounded by 20 rebounds last night that was real real bad
If you end up getting out rebounded by 20 a guy like Powe would seem to be someone who could see some minutes especially with Gomes
sick and Perk working on a 1 for 8 night. Way to go Doc. Take the
sleeping pill AFTER the game.

The C’s offensive spacing was simply terrible in this one. When you force this team to play half court they haven’t got a chance. It can’t all be due to the coaching staff either, but positioning Perkins on the perimeter is pretty lame. No one is going to guard him allowing the opponent to clog the middle.

Wally has got to be one of the most 1 DIMENSIONAL players in the league…..he can shoot, but he gives you ZERO on D and ZERO on the boards…oh, i forgot ZERO in the passing game as well (witness the 0 boards and 0 assists in over 30 disgusting minutes)….if this guy doesnt hit his shots, he doesnt even look like he should be in the league, thats how bad he is….but lets play him 35 minutes a game, Doc….I love it…

Partially Doc’s fault that the ball didn’t go in to Al. Doc will wait until after the game to say “we went away from Al.” LOL Why not call a timeout and tell the players to get the ball into Al while the game is still in progress and you still have a chance? I’ll tell you why, because Doc is slow to realize these things himself, while the rest of us are yelling at the tv to get the ball to Al while Howard is on the bench. Did I mention Doc is an idiot?
Wall & Scal bombing away. Wally should be sitting with how he is shooting. If a younger player was doing this they would be sitting. He is a turnover waiting to happen. Al only 8 shots that is BS. He is going good early they go away start bombing from outside. He starts going good again at the start of the 3 rd and then they same thing happens. Doc was a point guard and he can’t teach how to feed in the post, or the pick and roll. Until they fire Doc we will have these problems along with falling apart and losing close games.
I like Doc!!!! However, I like him better as a TNT BB Analyst.
How many of you actually saw Doc play PG? I remember him as a poor man’s DJ. His shooting was very inconsistent and his ability to penetration was non-existent. What the heck can he teach these PG anyhow.
Notice how inconsistent GMoney’s minutes have become because Doc doesn’t want the kid to shine. I second the emotion about Powe why not let him hit the court and can’t do any worse the Veal/Scal/Brian or whateverh his name is.
