Stiemsma's PER last year = 13.6

Stiemsma's PER this year = 7.2

Garnett effect...

I vote for Pietrus and his defensive energy, occasional timely threes, and his green blood.

It's not the role players people. Role players are role players.  They need stars to be effective.  The problem is with KG and PP a year older, and Rondo peaking, we have no stars.

Dooling.  Clearly the Celtics could use a little extra motivation and leadership right now.

Dooling is with the team, they don't need him in the roster to get all of that.... which they're actually getting it. Rondo mentioned him a few weeks ago.

Haha touchee..

I went for Dooling. I think his effort and instensity in the few minutes he played each game really made a huge spark. Even though we really need another 7 footer, Hollins and Steamah weren't that great.

I was very tempted to choose JO however. If he was healthy he would have been, and still would be a great addition for what this team needs.

I disagree...KG/PP/Rondo are putting up pretty similar stats that they did last year.

the difference is that all of our role-players last year despite their Offensive deficiencies BOUGHT IN to our defensive system and gave 100% on that end.

this years role players havent bought in and seem to think that they can win playing lazy defense...thats the issue here.

Danny thought he could trade defense for offense and we could mold these guys into at least decent defenders...instead they seem to be missing both.

Stiemsma all day every day.  Hard to have an elite defense with 0 shot blockers.

When I look at that list (minus Jermaine) all I see is heart, passion and effort.  I miss those qualities more than any individual players talent.  Talentwise they were pretty mediocre, but they all played their butts off.  Especially on defense and weren't worried about getting their stats up.

Steimsma, Pietrus, Dooling all were more than their talents.

  Gee, I wonder who you'e referring to, without enough heart and effort and worried about his stats...
