It's A Laugher

With the light schedule so far i have no issue with playing starters a bit longer. wonder why powe was last man in?

I was wondering which of the big 3 was going to take that critical last shot— oh, wait.

Is Leon Powe in the doghouse?

Powe played 12th man minutes which is about right for a teams 12th man.

it’s a long season…let’s calm down…Having said that,—Whoohoo!!…man,I HATE Kenyon Martin.

This is the classic guy drinking a great cup of coffee in the morning or sipping a cold brew after a hard days work commericals:

It just doesn’t get any better than this.

Here’s a thought, let’s win 50 straight and then play the trio every other game for the remainder of the 32 games, winning 8 more for a total of 58 wins.

That’ll effectively rest the GAP for the playoffs and give the rest of the B-team (and scrubs) plenty of playing time to be able to handle the big games.

Fun game to watch for sure, although if Posey is out for any length of time it will damper the excitement.

House had a really nice game and is showing why Ainge signed him. I’d feel better if there was a real back-up point guard on the team, however. For all his strengths, Rondo is still a work in progress and fouls a lot. Keith McLeod might not be a bad option.

The team appears to be coming together very nicely. Hopefully the bench can develop some cohesiveness and not force Doc to play the starters big minutes.

Lastly, there has to be some way to get rid of Scalabrine. I’d be hard-pressed to come up with a worse player on any NBA roster.

Hi Folks

I just joined the forum. I have the exact same concern as lemonadesky. Leaving aside the Scal question for a moment, what point guards are on the bubble? Who’s available? Is there anyone playing in Europe who can shake the contract and come aboard? Maybe we could trade Brian Scalabrine for Chris Paul? :))

Does Dr. Chestnutt’s no longer posting on the Celticsdoom blogspot mean that the doom years have come to an end?

How can we possibly be complaining about a backup point guard after that win? Gotta love Boston.

Right on, migit. Backup Point Guard? C’mon! Rondo looked pretty good and House was fine. T. Allen is still ragged and after watching him last Nov. we should expect that he will look great come Jan.

Biggest improvement in Perk is he now is ready and catches everything. No more stone hands. So great to see for a kid who cares so much.

The C’s were good but no way Denver is that bad. They played with no heart. Rondo truly bugged AI but neither was AI on his A game.

Denver must lead the league in tats. I think there is an inverse link between team tats and team IQ. If I’m right we should go deep into playoffs. I can’t get over the makeover on our team in class and intensity. Props to Danny and props to Doc. KG’s words about Doc show that he is a player’s coach and now that we have the players he’ll be the coach.

Congrats to Wally for 32 off the bench Tues.

  Definitely a laugher, but why in the world is Doc still playing Ray and KG in the fourth quarter? Just asking for trouble.

Teams with big leads tend to let up in the last quarter. Sometimes that big lead isn’t enough to get you a win after you let up. Doc was probably sending a message to the young guys to keep playing as if you’re up or down by 1. I don’t think the vets need this, but the young guys need to develop the habit of winning and the knowledge of how to do it. They may need to help out at some part of the year.

I also noted that when the game was over Doc stood there talking to Big Baby who did some things that Doc probably didn’t like. Here’s a coach that is going thru a real tough time, his team just destroyed the other and he is teaching a player when the game is over. That’s why you play your best players for a few minutes in the last quarter of a game like this.

The key to what you said, TrueGreen, is that Rivers actually looked like he was instructing Davis. That is terrific. The last few seasons we’ve seen the public classless asschewings that the young players obviously didn’t respond to. Hopefully Doc learned that from the last 3 seasons. Davis was obviously pressing. If Posey is out any length of time, Davis might get some meaningful minutes.

Maybe there’s some temporary Gahden mystique…..Neither of our opponents showed up for our home games. Paul played his best game of the season. Very encouraging that he didn’t force anything and played solid defense.

It’s funny because I’ve schooled my 8 yr old that a game is never over until the clock runs out.

At the half he said, “Dad. THIS game is OVER!”
