Howabout that ally-oop from rondo to O’bryant!

so far POB,TA and Walker look great…not so much for Miles,Davis and Scals.

good game, but please scal, do something positive offensively. in the postgame, doc said scal was the defensive key. hmmm. did i not see the same game?

wtf, scal was terrible

Scalabrine played decent defense. You just cringe whenever he touches the ball on offense.

I already knew that Tony Allen could play. And he was nearly turnover free in 42 minutes.

But the guy who has impressed me is O’Bryant. He has skills and runs the floor pretty well. Keeper.

i was at the game…..scal was trash out there…..tony was awesome everybody in y section was cheering for him…lebron came of as a jerk with some of the fans and tommy H looked like he didnt want to be there i have pictures of the game if anybody can tell me a good site to post them on so everybody can see them that be great

I was at the game too—-section 101 behind the stantion.

Scal was complete crap. everyone else showed some positive stuff. Pruitt looked good at the point but needs to show an ability to shoot. POB looked solid. Baby needs some effort. Miles too for that matter.

yeah i was in section 106 row JJ seat 10.slam king did u see at the end of the game were lebron ripped his towel off some little kids hand

Don’t they know Pruitt can shoot? I thought running the O and playing D were the challenges for him.

Scal was playing hack defense. The guy is not an NBA player.

guys, may i know why miles didn’t play much? was he hurt?

I think the 2nd unit showed great continuity in the 2nd half on both ends of the court, much better than in the first game. It was especially good considering the mix of players involved. Turning up the defense increased the energy and intensity. Even POB got excited. Also, TA played a very controlled game and I think the consistency will be there from him. The 2nd unit also showed well against many of the Cav’s starters in the 2nd half. To me, Davis and Scals, regardless of financial implications seem to be fighting for the 16th spot on the roster. Powe was great going against Ilgauskas who is the type of center that should worry us when Perk is out of the game. I’d love to see Powe defend Yao Ming tonite.

There’s an article in today’s Boston Globe that Cooz was fired by Comcast and they did it in a very low class way. (I, at first thought it was Cooz’s choice). Cooz, of course, reacted in in a very classy way as did the Celtic organization. I need to find a way to let Comcast know that they suck. I at least quit them for Verizon and am glad I did.

Regardless of your thoughts on Cooz as an announcer, this is a totally classless act, done in a classless way by Comcast. Please let them know what you think of them (Comcast).

Direct T.V. carried the game on 753 and for once Comcast also showed the game on 630.

Early indications are that JR Giddens is beginning to settle down to find his game. Defensively he’s been as advertised and I hope he gets the PT to show his complete game. He seems to have great hands and plenty of speed.

I still have concerns with Gabe but he probably needs more PT too. His one-on-one defense is remarkably improved over last year and he still plays the passing lanes well. Of greater concern is his missing offense, a supposed strength. As yet he lacks aggressiveness and fails to recognize when he has his man beaten so that he can drive to the paint either to shoot or dish off as defenders react to his penetration. Later, as though chided by Doc, he fails to shed his defender and forces his shot. While time to show that he belongs is limited, we do seem to have at least one other player who has consistently underperformed (YUP, it’s Scal). The speed of the game seems to have created panic for him as he continues to throw TERRIBLE passes, yet his defense is strong and he’s beginning to rebound. Like Miles, he isn’t playing like a “savy” veteran!

I don’t think they will give up on kids like Giddens and Pruitt so soon. If they keep Miles and Cassell, Scal is gone. With all the athletic newcomers and TA regaining his game, Scal’s lack of athleticism is quite apparent.

Amazing! Giddens has played all of two preseason games and he isn’t ready to be in the Hall of Fame yet. I can’t believe the guy can’t step right in and be an all-star…

Please people. It is TWO preseason games. Let these guys play a bit before anointing them or calling them busts.

xxcelticsfan34xx I didn’t see that—-too many bodies between me and the Cav’s bench. Saw them heading into the lockerroom and that was about it.
