No Hudson, again
Why is Doc not giving Hudson more NBA minutes?
I just don't get it, Rondo is playing with an injury, which is absolutely stupid! If he injures his hamstring more, the ramifications this would have on the Celtics is immeasurable. The effect of having KG and Pierce out at the moment is evident in the loses we are currently having. So losing their third best player would be the last thing they need (yes Ray, you are playing [terrible] at the moment, cant even get a three despite that being the reason your on the team - 1 for 5 tonight - maybe you may as well be injured too right now - perhaps Ray should be a part of a trade for Lebron James!).
If they lost Rondo for any period of time, who would they put as PG...Ray haha? No doubt that would be the first option, House being the 2nd choice!!! Stupid if you ask me, when you have Lester Hudson needing 'NBA' development minutes. Why Doc didn't give him more minutes tonight against Phoenix is beyond me, would have been a perfect opportunity considering the Celtics were being shown how to play NBA-level basketball!!! Less then 5 minutes at the end of the game is pathetic! There is also Walker available, not sure if he made the trip to Phoenix, but another player who should be playing more minutes when the team is rocked with injuries!!!
With such a veteran team, who are slowly becoming geriatrics, considering how often KG is getting injured, and Pierce getting injured - the requirement to have a clicking bench is huge. Tonight's game was a good example of how the Celtics just aint got it going on with the bench.
This brings me onto another point, Rasheed Wallace...I mean [what?]!!! Playing as Center and shooting threes, yeah he has popped a few before, but tonight 0 from 4. One would think he would stop shooting them when in a slump. The stature Wallace thinks he is, he is not contributing enough to the team.
And then Scalabrine, 23 minutes tonight, WHY? He didn't even score!!!
I think at the stage of the game you really need an explanation from Doc as to he chain of thought? Why is he doing these things when its obvious it isn't working!!!
Worst game of the year....thus far!
Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.

Ugh.
I don’t understand the love for Hudson, he’s just not that good…. Not yet, anyone.
We need to ship out some expirings and bring in a legit back up PG. Supposedly, Ramon Sessions is on the block and Minny would probably like some expirings.
Don't Trade Rondo or Perk!
Disagree about Hudson
He played rather well in the preseason when given minutes.
He is young athletic has a nice offensive game, is tenacious on defence and is a decent point guard .
He is exactly the type of player we need on the court today.
Also he has great upside and will only get better as he plays more.
I think its obvious that Hudson isn’t as good as some of the point guards available on the market, but until we make a move, you need to get him out there getting some minutes. If Rajon goes down, there is no way we survive without some kind of back-up point. Hudson should know a few plays and is familiar with the role that Rondo plays. If Ray or Tony or House have to take on the point role full-time, forget about it. I wouldnt even want to watch. At least get Hudson into the rotation a little bit until we make a trade, just to make us breath easier. Or until Marquis comes back.
hudson issnt really a point gaurd...
hes really a SG playing the PG position..
True in college he was a shooting guard...
But he showed us in preseason he can play point guard very well.
If House TA and Ray Allen can play point as Doc has them do occasionally so can Hudson who is proabably better at doing so.
This is true.....
But can anyone watch Eddie back the bll up the court anymore? And why does Tony have to dribble so high? And why does ball fill with helium and float away whenever Ray dribbles into the lane? Its because these guys arent supposed to be handling the ball as much as they should. They need to catch and shoot. Or for Tony catch and slash. I know Hudson isnt a true point guard, but right this moment in time, with Rondo nursing the hammy and Marquis & Paul out, I cant see anyone else to turn too. Like I said earlier, until we make a trade or Lue takes the suit off, give Hudson some minutes until things start shaking out.
DUMP DOC RIVERS HIRE TOM T
Injuries are always a problem but that’s something we can’t do anything about. Listen things will not get better unless Doc plays the young guy’s. The owner is tired of spending money. He said no trades. So how do we get better. Play all the players we have. Doc is not going to play the young.
I do not get it either...
Considering they lack a true point guard, Daniels is out hurt and House has been struggling this year overall Hudson should be seeing minutes.
The kid is tenacious on defense has a great scoring game and can dish the ball.
Everything we seem to need at the moment.
Though on the small side can you imagine the speed and quickness advantage a back court duo of Hudson and Rondo would be and how it could create nightmares for opposing teams.
Doc just does not like to play young guys.
I have the same complaint regarding Docs refusal to play Walker.
We have young, athletic and talented players on our roster and we need them now, not tomorrow not next year but right now, especially considering the injuries we have.
I hope Doc will realize this and play the kids.
Totally agree...
But, don`t hold your breath waiting for Doc to do anything that takes him out of his “comfort zone” or normal routine.
While watching the Suns game
I was thinking the Celtics needed a lot more energy on defense. Why not get some of the young, hungry, and energetic players in there? I think we knew a win was highly unlikely by the end of the first period (if not before). Maybe some energy would have helped though.
I would have loved to see some extended minutes for Hudson (and some of the other young players near the end of the bench).
It doesn’t mean Hudson should take Rondo’s job, but in a game like that, some playing time and experience would be beneficial!
UMBUTU or what ever you call it----that's a joke to selfish Doc Rivers
I thought the word meant we are all in this together…..I mean almost. The young guy’s are not in it. They don’t play. Maybe there just supposed to be well payed cheer leaders not basketball players.Doc is selfish (wants to win every game at the expense of the starters. Well I could be wrong he could just be stubborn.
Not for one minute do I believe that any of us know more about basketball than Doc. So he is intent on not playing the young guy’s. Stupid is as stupid does.
If a player can be traded “in the middle of the year”. Then why can’t a coach be fired in the middle of the year.
