30Q: What's Plan B If Marquis Gets Hurt?
The most glaring weakness on this team is the depth at small forward. Chris Forsberg sums it up nicely. Roster rundown: Grand Marquis - Boston Celtics Blog - ESPN Boston Behind Paul Pierce, Daniels is essentially the only other true small forward on Boston's roster (not including Tony Gaffney,...
30Q: Can Semih Erden Contribute?
During his team's silver medal showing in the World Championships, Semih Erden was a bright spot on the team. While he didn't start, he was a key contributor that came up big in the semi-final game and was trusted by his teammates. TrueHoop observed: Semih Erden, who will join the Celtics in a...
30Q: Do Gaffney or Lafayette Have A Shot?
Most are taking it as a given that Tony Gaffney and Oliver Lafayette are the first cuts after training camp. However, Ainge has stressed to the media and to them (and their agents) that the best 15 players will make the roster. That means he might be willing to cut a guaranteed contract if that...
30Q: Reserve Roles: Delonte West or Von Wafer?
A few weeks ago, under the assumption that Von Wafer would be backing up Ray Allen at the shooting guard spot this season, I wondered aloud if Avery Bradley had a chance to steal some minutes at the position. Well, that was before the Celtics signed Delonte West. Now, a more accurate question...
30Q: Does Luke Harangody Have A Role?
Danny Ainge has a knack for finding guys in the 2nd round that out-perform their draft position. Luke Harangody was a star in college but seemed to have limited upside potential, so he was available for Danny with the 52nd pick. Then he proved in the summer league that he at least belongs in this...
30Q: Who Is The 6th Man?
In case you missed it, Chris Forsberg is running down his own list of questions (and enlisting the help of many Celtics blogs to do it). So I'm going to quote our own writers and point you to his article for the rest. Jimmy Toscano, CelticsBlog (Glen Davis) The sixth man of the year is none...
30Q: How Would You Grade Danny's Offseason?
Technically it isn't over yet, and time will tell how well he did, but I'd like to hear your thoughts in general on Danny Ainge's offseason. Also, as a bonus question: what do you think he'll try to do with the roster during the season?
30Q: Who Should Be Inactive?
Barring any further changes to the roster, the Celtics will head into camp with 17 players. Two of them (presumably Lafayette and Gaffney) will be cut. They can carry 12 active players on the roster and three will be put on the inactive list. Kendrick Perkins is out till February, so he's one of...
30Q: Will The Celtics Rebound Better?
Last year this was a glaring weakness, in particular in the Finals (though to be fair, that Lakers frontline makes a lot of teams struggle on the glass). We've added Shaq and Jermaine O'Neal to help out and though they've clearly had their best years in the rear view mirror, they can be an upgrade...
30Q: Will The Defense Still Be As Good?
Starting a new series (an idea I'm stealing from Sactown Royalty) called "30Q" where we ask 30 questions about the team to help generate discussion on days like today when there's no new news to discuss. Enjoy. Thibs is out, Frank is in. Perkins is out for many months, Jermaine O'Neal is in. ...
