Doc Not Saying Who Will Start

BostonHerald.com - Blogs: Celtics Insider" Blog Archive " Monday practice notes: Sheed or Baby?

Doc Rivers said he wasn’t sure who would start in Garnett’s place. Glen Davis was working with the first unit during the brief period of practice open to the media, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll get the call. Rivers has looked to Rasheed Wallace to fill in throughout the season when Garnett has been absent.

"They’re completely different players," Rivers said. "Sheed gives us more size, he gives us a better post player and he spreads the floor. Baby gives you energy, Baby moves his feet a little bit better on the (Michael) Beasley match-up. They’re just so completely different, that’s what makes the decision so difficult. It would be easy if they were similar. But they’re not so it’s tougher."

I think if it was going to be Sheed he'd have said so already. I expect Glen Davis to get the start.

Big Baby gets the nod...he did well as KG`s playoff replacement a year ago

He doesnt know who’s going to start. He is waiting for a Divine Inspiration to lighten his 3 neurons.

why broadcast it?

Miami doesn’t need to know, let them have to prepare for all scenarios.

Davis probably gets the nod

because Sheeed can’t control his anger and would have two Ts before halftime. With his fragile mental makeup he’s OK is short spurts but isn’t capable of longer minutes.

He sure seemed to do it better than KG in Game 1.

davis

is a given – anything else would be idiotic and self destructive

Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk

Davis all day

The way big baby played the other night, doc would be dumb not to start Glen, also shed hasn’t been any type of help in recent times

I don't think it matters who starts

If Sheed can go low post, find it in his heart and old bones to play some D, and show some yesteryear type play, great. If Baby can give the hustle, get the boards, take the charges, great. Whoever is the “hot” player is who Doc needs to ride; much like we did with Tony last game. Both will get their shot the first 1.5 Quarters; after that go with the flow.

I agree with this

I’m more concerned about who finishes.

"Do you know that nonbelievers create the most positive energy?" Davis said

Lol

Watch Sheed start.

WHO STARTS?

Rondo said it looks like Baby starts. Can someone please tell Doc his “I DON’T KNOW” theme for this season is tiresome! Anyone else besides me want to ask him “What is it that you DO know?” It’s playoff time,you MUST know SOMETHING by now….
