Kevin Garnett Suspended for Game 2- Sheed or Baby?

but give more time to Baby if Sheed doesn’t earn it during the game.

I am trying, however, to give KG the doubt given that it was in the heat of the battle. However, a guy who has played 1,200 NBA games needs to be a little smarter.

Glen is better coming off the bench

If I was coaching, I’d just go crazy and pull Perk and run out a super-small-ball lineup with Rondo, Tony, Ray, Marquis, and Pierce. Why not? I don’t think Miami can keep up in a super-fast paced fast break style, and we have the guns to do it.

But mostly I just don’t want to start Baby or Sheed (shudders)

Sheed in with Perk lets Sheed be outside. None of us want that!!! Let him spell Perk so he has to play down low both offensively and defensively. Put Scals inwhen Sheed’s in to chase Beasley around a little bit and keeps Sheed inside and then Shelden as the third PF who can be paired with Perk. Sprinkle in liberally some TA and Finley.

All he had to do was spit in Q’s face. Anytime u intently throw an elbow whether it connected or not, you’re suspended. If he only had spit in Q’s face, he would’ve only received a technical.

I watched the replay so many times I lost count and whilst KG and Q where yapping at each other Haslem comes in and starts the pushing. Haslem started the physical altercation, he came in and pushed KG, then Davis got into it and pushed Haslem back and that’s when KG was swarmed by Miami players. He was been held by Q and Haslem and he through the elbow to free himself. I know the NBA has a law unto it’s own but in the real world you are allowed to defend yourself when someone is pushing you (like Haslem and half the Miami bench did to KG and BBD).

So KG’s been suspended for one game but the C’s will win anyway. I expect the Garden to come to life and yell abuse at Miami like no other team has faced in recent history. Expect to hear boo’s whenever the Heat have possession.

whoever is playing better will just get more time when the game counts

and without KG we can’t match it that well

I am taking my ball and going home! In all seriousness though I say start BBD. He has proven that he can handle the role and I dont know that Rasheed has. Let Miami try to throw Davis around and play physical games with him and see how they play.

someone above said it would fire up Rasheed and I think BBD will be fired up wether he starts or not so start Sheed. Man, is that hedgin or what?

Thanks kg…celtics will lose next one.

i hope one of our bigs knocks Q’s teeth out with a pick. there shouldn’t have been any suspensions from this, period. kobe threw an incidental (not really) elbow at artest last year that was similar to this one, and he got nothing.

something with him just isn’t right.

start baby- bring in seldom ( used ) shelden and sheed and perk can share our weakest position, i.e. center. k.g got jobbed but he has a deserved rep for intimidating in crazy ways. stern is a bigger jerk than anyone- with his referee protection program.

i think this is the galvanizing force for this team… GO Celtics its time for Sheed to earn his cut of the “CTC”

It was a bad call all the way around. Pierce could have been seriously injured and the stupid miami players wouldnt back up an inch. Garnett does need to chill on running his mouth so mouth though, it hurts him and the team.

heck i’ll play sheldon more than sheed even though he was brought here for the playoffs

Is there any chance — any at all — that his technical foul count will be reset to zero?

I mean, if the idea is that a certain kind of conduct (if not otherwise determined, then quantified by an accumulation of technicals) earns you a suspension, then once you serve that suspension shouldn’t your demerits (or whatever) be wiped clean?

Wishful, I know.

Tyler or Taylor…bruins have a brighter future

……saw this suspension coming our way and its also fair and goes by the rulebook…..but I still think KG did no wrong there….he stood up for an injured team mate…..Q Punk got away with it this time….next time I hope he has to visit a dentist.

But I say give it to Davis. Reward his hustle from the other night. I was so impressed by it that I changed my iPhone wallpaper to him.

can players just focus on their respective series and not comment on issues that don’t affect them. (had to get this out of my chest first)

I think Sheed will have to prove why we signed him in the next game. fill in for KG and hopefully that switch is on. So not mad at KG.

PEACE!!

Which veteran who ought to know better has less self control — KG or Sheed?
Probably Sheed despite KG’s playoff game meltdown today.

start sheed. if we can get him working, he’d make beasley feel like hell defending him. glen’s energy off the bench works to our advantage as well. if he gets infected with the lethargic energy that has sometimes plagued our starters, we’re in deep trouble.

We SHOULD start Sheed, because I really don’t think he’s adjusted to the bench role, shocking as it may sound. Either way, I think BBD needs to play alongside TA in the 2nd quarter to bring the energy we’ll need.

Also, Sheed rarely got the ball in the post in Game 1. GIVE IT TO HIM if you want him to be effective. Jeez!

That just cbeause Sheed starts doesn’t mean he has to finish.

Sheed only played 12 minutes last night, so Doc has shown to me that he’s not going to play Sheed just cause he’s a veteran. If Sheed does damage, you won’t mind him being out there a little longer. Then, hopefully BBD steps up off the bench and produces similar results. And the better guy finishes. Right?

Doc should go small:
Rondo/ Arroyo
Tony/ Wade
Ray/ Q Rich
Pierce/ Beasley
Perk/ O’ Neal

sad to see how much dead weight is on the celtics—where are all the scorers, rebounders, energy to win—-only remedy is to clean house and replace these people with real winners. wallace, perkins, davis, daniels, scali…, have got to go—-the team is choking——missed layups, poor shooting, poor rebounding,offensive and defensive boards——no team chemistry—-walking around——dead weight….NEXT FACTOR——“AGE”—-AND IF AINGE CANT , THEN THE OWNER NEEDS TO REPLACE HIM TOO!!!!

I picked Sheed simply because his name is the first option in the list. Lucky we are playing the Heat, it really does not matter who to start in place of KG, we can still handle the Heat. If we are playing the Magic or the Cavs, losing KG will have a much much bigger impact.

because Doc is very predictable.

BBD’s energy off the bench will wear down the Miami bench.

One thing that wouldn’t surprise me though is that now that Scal will be active, there may actually be a chance Doc starts him to chace Beasley around and that will let Doc keep the current bench rotation.

Both players win that way. Remember, Rasheed was lazy the 2nd half of year. No doubt abut that. But he put it on himself that he’s here for the playoffs. So the start is the “Show me” moment and Doc knows it.

But Big Baby was just huge and has been our energy player for the last two months. Use that motor early and often.

Now to Reggie’s point. Perk went from oaf to darn good NBA center and since all star break back to oaf. Who knows why? But its playoffs. Spell him with Sheldon. The Heat aren’t big and Sheldon can definitely compete.
