Ahhh hey Jeff I was just about to make a fanpost about this, but when the page refreshed you already had beat me to the punch… I’ll getcha next time though…

Lets just hope the Celts can turn the season around, this is a good start

Giddens and Walker re both hurt and are coming to Boston for medical evaluation. That’s what Ainge said on the radio today.

Besides, what difference will it make? Rivers won’t use them anyway.

Pierce at the 4, KG at the 5.

I want to see the three kids for at least 10 minutes each on the floor together.

Use Pierce at the 4.

See what happens.

Doc tried this in the 05 playoffs, and the kids played great.

If they’re both not hurt, I’d almost rather Ainge only brought one of them back. In that way, Doc might actually give that one guy as much as say… a minute and a half per game. With both of them around, Doc might feel compelled to play neither.

I don’t care about the motive.

I want PT!!!!

Have to agree with Brick on this one. They’ll just be getting their DNP’s from courtside instead of Utah!

we should keep walker im telling u right now stupid to trade him we need youth not 35 year old guys at the end of there rope now dont get me wrong the celtcis are going to be fine but if we trade one of they i want giddens gone he is a punk any way want walker getting minute soon he could be just what we need. another thing about gabe he has a real nice shot and the only reason hs fg percentage is bad because when i see him get in the game he just chucks up a three careless he could be key for the rest of the season.

Perhaps the Rooks have been called up (Walker, in particular) because of what they bring in terms or tougness and attitude during practice? Repprts had Bill Walker playing tough in practice. This team could use the enthusiasm and attitue right now. Good timing.

how is walker the punk ? just becuse giddens might be ur boy doesnt mean that he isnt a punk he got kicked out of kansas he might be good but he has attitude problems plus wwalker is better

It’ll be frustrating because Doc isnt likely to use them, and everyone including me will want him to..theres been rookies making positive impacts all across the league, theres no reason at all they shouldnt be able get burn especially with the way we struggle against young athletic teams, its the only way theyre ever going to get better, playing in front of a coupe hundred people in a high school gym against inferior competition isnt gonna help IMO

i totally agree bro we need youth walker is good he was supposed to go high in the draft but the knee killed him truthfully it isnt going to hurt us to give him 10 mins

Is the one exception to Docs rookie rule or rookie manging Big baby? this is a guy that got consitent minutes when a rookie and he did unexpectedly help us alot, most memorably that detroit game

I’d really hoped Walker could help fill the void left by Posey (plus this whole “committee” group), and I REALLY hope time in the D-League has helped. But I wonder; isn’t the D-League for more of a long-term development?
I’d kill to see either have an impact.

Yay!!!!

It seems too many still treat this team like the Delonte, Big Al, Gerald Green era. They have not gotten used to contender status. How many other top teams over the past years are working in late first round and second round picks? Yes, not winning as many games may not be the ultimate goal, yet, homecourt proved to be huge last year, so they are still going to try to win as many games as possible.

They simply cannot have a preconceived plan about how many minutes to “give” Pruitt, Walker, Giddens, etc., and then just ride it out, even if things aren’t working. Each game unfolds differently. Clearly the big 3 can’t go 40+ every night, but they haven’t been. Teams whose goal is to try and get the best record in the league, don’t work young ‘uns in just for the sake of developing them, disregarding the W’s and L’s. That is a mentality of teams who know being one of the top 3 teams in the league is not realistic.

I’ve seen all their games re NBDL Futurcast.

Both have shown to be IMPACT players. At times too aggressive with T.O. but their speed and athleticism are there.

Let’s hope the DA tells Doc to give their time on the court it. It can’t be any worse than Scalabrini, TA and Davis of late.

Maybe this is the shot in the arm we need. Before we give up on our bench, let us first exhaust all options we have there and that includes these two rookies. At this point of the season, I don’t think it would be a bad idea to give Pruitt and maybe one of Giddens or Walker some burn on the court. If they don’t pan out, there’s always the FA market which is rapidly growing by the day.

At times we have really needed a long big and Doc hasn’t been willing to throw O’Bryant in there. Pruitt desrves some minutes if they are coming free from Tony Allen.

My guess is same as written above. They aren’t going to see any daylight.
