I almost feel bad for making you guys take Telfair.

So.....Joakim Noah or Greg Ogden?

I'm partial to the idea of a Celtics jersey with Noah on the back for obvious reasons.

This is really just f**king sad. I haven't watched them much this year, so I can't really comment on what exactly has been their problem.

As far as the minutes thing goes, I totally agree with kidcolin. They need to get the players who they think are going to be the long-term stars in there and just let them play. I was yelling about this last year when Scalabrine was playing way too many minutes down the stretch when their season was all but over.

As a matter of fact, they only discovered how good Ryan Gomes was by accident when they didn't have Jefferson or Perkins healthy and they just didn't have anyone else to start.

So there's 4 kids for the forward positions: Perkins, Jefferson, Powe, and Gomes. They absoutely need to get minutes. Why not do something like let two of them play every other quarter or something? Start with Gomes and Jefferson and then let Powe and Perkins play the 2nd quarter. Do whatever it takes, just do what you can to figure out who's going to be a good player at this level and who isn't. Just give them consistent minutes in big chunks and see what they do with it.

And why isn't Delonte West playing more? All he did last year was make big plays and spark the otherwise dead offense and he's only started 2 games and is only getting 23.7 MPG. I just don't get it.

Of the 15 players on the C's roster, TEN! have 3 years of experience or less (and since the season just started, it's more like 2 years or less for all of them). They've done the drafting part, now they just need to put the pieces together. A year or two ago, I felt like they had enough young, maturable talent to win while Pierce was still in his prime, but now I'm not so sure. Add to the fact that Pierce seems to be losing interest and they are regressing instead of improving and I have to wonder if they'll ever be any good.

rajon rondo NEEDS to start. ive had enough of the "bassy" era.

also...gerald green knocked down three 3's last night. he needs some more PT.

[xorbie]

again, i like rondo, pierce, wally, al j and gomes to start with perk/powe coming off the bench for the bigs and green and west getting good playing time as well.

there's no reason for allen or wtf orien green to be seeing the court, ever.

[kidcolin]

Green's 3 threes were nice, glad to see him pulling the trigger. But there were a few times on breaks where he drifted to the perimeter. He's too athletic to just be a 3-ball threat.

xorb,
orien isn't on our team anymore, bud.

wasn't any reason for him to be getting playing time last year either... i just thought i saw him getting minutes. maybe some other team is retarded enough to play him.

[kidcolin]

yeah, the pacers. Kendrick threw an elbow into his chest.
