Bass Knows His Role, Plays It Well

If it weren’t for Rondo’s other-worldly game, Bass would be HUGE news for the C’s. Having watched Perk and Baby bring the ball down to their knees after each rebound for so many years, I forgot that a rebound could be jammed right back into the basket. It almost brought tears to my eyes on Christmas day (well, that and the way we played in the first quarter and for the last five minutes of the game).

Thank goodness a season can’t be judged on one game but Bass is soon to make my list of favorite C’s if he keeps up that kind of spirited play off the bench. If it’s possible to come away from a losing game with a good feeling, I have a few from this game. I actually feel better about the team. Given that are biggest offensive weapon was in a suit and tie, I think we can compete. (Sorry but Sasha and to a lesser extent Marquis were nearly invisible as PP replacements).

Unfortunately, this team still doesn’t know what to do on offense when Rondo sits down. I think he ran out of some gas in the last few minutes because we road him like Seabiscuit. The days of “Rondo’s got young legs so he can play the whole game” should be coming to an end. But who’s gonna step up? For better or worse, this team has gotten more dependent on Rondo with each passing year. That’s a scary proposition but dammit if he didn’t go out there to shut some people up yesterday.

that neither Pavlovik or Daniels can guard Anthony. I think both Pierce and Speights can, or at least do a WHOLE lot better and with the better guarding and some scoring from the position we will be fine.

The bench, by itself, didn’t give us much yesterday. Bass’ best contribution came when he was on the floor with the starters. Just something to think about.

another 4 to bang around with Bass and play with KG when JO sits would be nice

KMart come marchwe don’t want him on the Knicks
Who else is out there?..Danny has 3 months to figure it out

so much for limited minutes for the big 3 – kg,ra,rr-were all gassed at the end of the game-too many minutes. melo was rested- sat a long time with 4 fouls. one point for d’antoni’ . bass keeps moving to the hole when he doesn’t have the ball. i like that. all the trade talk re rondo. he is one of a kind a creature from outer space. you love him and hate him because we rely so much on him almost too much. on defense against the knicks, he stayed in front of his man got thru the picks and was superb.

He’s more athletic & a better ballhandler than Baby. He’s got just as much range. He’s a beast inside. I was more excited about his play than a potential win/loss. I remember Cuban raving about him in Dallas & rarely got to see him play. Nice pick up. Danny.

gotta be somebody better than Wilcox out there

I’m thinking
