brandon bass has to be able to hold on to the ball at some point, right?

I read on ESPN, I believe, that Bass has the lowest turnover percentage on our team. Hmmm...
And yea. Craw used to start every game in WAS. I like him as a starter.
Serious question:
Will either team break 90?
I don't know any one on this TNT broadcast. At all.
Did they finally get the hint their usual announcers are awful?
Doc, play White and we might win.Might be a tough game to get DJ White floor time.

They are doing the NCAA tournament this week
Does Bass at center make anyone else nauseous?This should be Chris Wilcox instead of Bass.

The matchup is in their favour. Carmelo Anthony (PF) can defend DJ White a hell of a lot better than DJ White can defend Carmelo or JR Smith.
Gotta stay small.
Bradley better pan out as a perennial all-defense first-teamer, because his offensive skills are poor and regressing.
I kind of wonder if the C's wouldn't be better off if Jordan Crawford went down with an injury.
I still can't get over how many teams passed up on Kenyon Martin this season.

Yes, his contract ends this summer. W.Bynum was being paid $3.23 million. He will probably get something similar this time around. So I am thinking to split the MLE between W.Bynum and a second player.
Well, he now has the ball more. The problem is when he tries to do something with it, it typically ends in a horrifying layup attempt. He shouldn't be taking it to the rack unless it's a wide-open shot.Bradley better pan out as a perennial all-defense first-teamer, because his offensive skills are poor and regressing.
He used to move exceptionally well without the ball. Must've forgotten how to do that effectively. Tis a shame.
Copeland just got destroyedHow is this not a flagrant foul, he never made a play on the ball.
How does Paul make that head and shoulder fake move so easy?
I tried it so many times, never worked for me.
who is covering sith..pp cannot...

Well, we've got this kid Avery Bradley that's pretty good at defense, or at least that's what I've heard.
Maybe someone should notify Doc...

Hahaha, gotta tp you on that...keep trying...i missed it.....but it was funny..!
BOY AM i glad doc didn't play KG until he got hurt like he did the last three years.yup, doc is such a great, knowledge-able coach.!!! Good thing we didn't play fab melo, we don't need backup bigs.or sign K-mart either....bah..we need 100 guards....!

If we had given Fab Melo even 10 minutes per game, we would probably be 10 games below .500 right now.
Sorry, signing guys just because they play a position is pretty stupid. We had Collins, Wilcox, KG, Bass, Green, Sullinger. The bigman problem shouldn't have been an issue. Bass has taken 3 steps back, Sullinger had back surgery, and Wilcox has also taken a step back. No one could have seen EVERYTHING going wrong. By your logic we should have had Rondo, Bradley, Pierce and 12 big men on the roster.
Just stupid logic. Injuries happen, Sometimes you get unlucky. If the Heat had Lebron go down, how good do you think they'd be? We had been playing inspired basketball without two starters including our superstar PG and best rebounder in SUllinger.

your experience is showing. ::)
k mart was sitting there, and we all know it...except you that is....and your idea of melo is weak..as if you saw him play more than garb ::)ge mins...and guess what...any games back is not an issue if you make the playoffs, and have a totally HEALTHY KG.....if you ever watched the celtics before you would have known that kg goes down EVERY JAN for the last 3 years...from over use......playing a lot would teach you that.and some maturity...it may come to you yet.
I hear that Bradley kid is sitting on the bench with 2 fouls. Maybe he should stop fouling in the front court.who is covering sith..pp cannot...

Yeah, I'm a big Doc supporter, but not having Bradley on him seems pretty stupid.

It's Knick layup city right now. Pierce probably can cover the other pf, but it kills the Celtics team defense.
Even Woodson said, "they have no shot blockers".
Doc is getting out-coached.I don't think he is getting out-coached. The other team just has more horses.
Doc is getting out-coached.I agree, he should have subbed himself in for Avery Bradley -- couldn't have been any worse.

edit: Also, he now single-handedly gifted 4 points in 10 seconds to the Knicks. That's just dandy.
I just saw Jeff Green at center. That is stupid!!!!! Don't tell me match-ups, either.s soon as sully went out.....and we traded wilcox..should have signed kmart.....or one big anyway.....terry got hip checked there..
or have terry cover a low maint guy like novak.....novak does nothing but 3's.....easy to cover.....then terry can be fresh for shooting....wish w ehad rondo...Good idea. I like that but I would prefer to see them hide Jordan Crawford on Novak over Terry.
This will be a 20 point game at halftime, which is great -- I'll be able to go cook pizza and play LOTRO with no remorse.
Terry is officially back into sleep mode like at the beginning of the season
Or maybe the Big Bang Theory marathon on TBS. So many choices, so little time...This will be a 20 point game at halftime, which is great -- I'll be able to go cook pizza and play LOTRO with no remorse.
Im thinking the U.S. and Mexico game
Doc is getting out-coached.I don't think he is getting out-coached. The other team just has more horses.
Doc doesn't have the options on his bench to respond. No KG. Very little big man talent outside of KG. No forwards with size outside of Pierce/Green. Too many undersized guards.
Definitely not a foul...except maybe on Melo for all that elbowing he doesyou are sooo right..melo is a constant elbow machine.like lebron jr...! No d howard jr.!
Bernard KING.man e was a scoring MACHINE..a ball hog too, but i think he had a high % of made shots though.....right..?Doc is getting out-coached.I don't think he is getting out-coached. The other team just has more horses.

Knicks don't have Chandler, Amare, ...
I guess the Knicks are on a 25 game win streak. Nobody can guard journeyman Novak. All teams must go small to face these Knicks.
All I see is playing small ball but being down 14. Making JR Smith look like Bernard King.

true, but novak is preety easy to deny the ball from....he is no ray allen.....he moves little, he can basically just shoot a 3....with little movement....i know, he did that fake.....but just in his face....he has nothing.It is the team defense sequences that cause problems for bigs. Knowing when and how to play help defense off of a shooter like Novak. Lots of bigs struggle with that.
no..i wish i saw that....they should be in now....the way he has the ones out there..we have little chance to win this way....i would give them a few to see....they are HUNGRY too.....they will dig in..!man if ny had chandler and amare..we would be DOUBLE-Toast..!
Did you get to see the game the other night? Down about 25, Doc put White and Randolph in. Celtics come roaring back. In 7 minutes Whites has 4 pts, 2 rebounds, and 4 blocks. Randolph had 2 points,4 rebounds, and 1 block. Could of had more points but missed a couple fts.

Getting caught in no-mans land.
Doc is allergic to size. Instead of making them match up with us, he'd rather they get to put the players out there they want.
Regardless of size, we could just use some energy. Bass and Wilcox aren't bringing it at all.
right maybe white or randy can cover melo...? should try them.we got nothing going as it is.....no..i wish i saw that....they should be in now....the way he has the ones out there..we have little chance to win this way....i would give them a few to see....they are HUNGRY too.....they will dig in..!man if ny had chandler and amare..we would be DOUBLE-Toast..!right maybe white or randy can cover melo...? should try them.we got nothing going as it is.....

You could maybe tell your big not to look to help on team defense and stay at home with the shooter. You will have the same problems with your team defense + rebounding (since your big is 20 feet from the hoop) as your smaller lineups.
But you might be able to create better advantage offensively with (1) an interior scorer + offensive rebounder (not Bass) rather than (2) by going small with an extra guard who can create on the perimeter.

Oh, excellent job by Jeff Green pulling that rebound over Kenyon Martin and then dribbling out and making the quick long pass to an open Pierce for the easy layup.
Great plays by Jeff Green.
we need to shorten that karma thing....you need a tp too..!PLEASE take Bass out and PLEASE keep feeding Green at the top of the keyyou could be destined for a lot of tp's here.LOL...
Already gave him 1.
I'm quite happy with Crawford tonight. Some very nice passes.Yeah, he is having a really great game offensively. Playing well.
Why do Danny and Doc continue to watch this team lose games bc of rebounding and second chance points and do nothing to solve it. ???

He can at least TRY to get his money's worth with ONE of these big men we have sitting on the bench lol
Doc and Ainge are something else. Doc doesn't give guys without a track record a chance. So what does Ainge do? Sign two journey man guys from China who will only play during blowouts or against Charlotte, leaving Bass free to crap all over the team.
With the Knicks going small why would we go big? Its not like White/Randolph are going to punish the Knicks.Why do Danny and Doc continue to watch this team lose games bc of rebounding and second chance points and do nothing to solve it. ???

Fringe NBA players aren't our salvation. The sad truth is that Bass is a better player than both of them.
Might be time to hit the bench tonight
But its true. Bass is a nba rotation level player, Randolph/White couldn't even get a minimum contract at the start of the season.Fringe NBA players aren't our salvation. The sad truth is that Bass is a better player than both of them.
Sure doesn't look like it.
Seriously though, why don't we fight small with big?Because we haven't been able to guard them with our small line up. Its not likely to get better with shaky defensive bigs trying to cover shooters.
And these refs are so biased. It's unbelievable.
Nothing like getting a snow job by the refs when you're at home, yikes.

Out-gunned tonightTerry has been such a disappointment.
Melo and JR Smith have 52 points between them.
Terry another no-show performance. Pierce has been too quiet. Too many turnovers too. Green and Crawford have done well but they haven't gotten enough help.
Seriously though, why don't we fight small with big?Because our bigs are not good enough to force them away (or punish) their small ball lineups.

He's not shooting as much though, and that's a problem he has to provide scoring with his skillset.

close.
haha
Bass' play is depressing. Need more scoring from him.We used to get him a ton of pick and pop shots every game and he killed on them. He shot poorly to start the season and since then he just hasn't been aggressive with his shot, nor has the team continued to work those looks for him.
I have no belief in his ability to improve as a defender or rebounder (he is what he is) but at least he used to be a good bench scorer. He got around 15 points per 36 minutes for 4-5 years. His scoring is down a third per minute (10 points per 36 minutes) this season. Gotta get him scoring again.
That bloody contract. Going to be so difficult to trade. Negative trade value.

Trading baskets just isn't going to cut it right now.
The perimeter defense at the point of attack has been really weak tonight.Team just looks tired both mentally and physically.
No interior defense to help them out. They needed a super-game and they didn't bring it. Courtney Lee would have been of great help tonight.

There is no way to win against your argument. Since Bass got a chance in the NBA and a contract, therefore he is automatically better.
Do I think Randolph and White are saviors? Of course not. But are you really against even giving those two guys a chance when Bass is playing a scrub level? They have nothing to lose except by more points.
I have tickets to Bos @ NYK on Sundaybring beer money.and a few nips in yo pockett.LOL...!
Hopefully we dont make asses out of ourselves again

He's not shooting as much though, and that's a problem he has to provide scoring with his skillset.
There is no way to win against your argument. Since Bass got a chance in the NBA and a contract, therefore he is automatically better.
Do I think Randolph and White are saviors? Of course not. But are you really against even giving those two guys a chance when Bass is playing a scrub level? They have nothing to lose except by more points.
Backup big men are the backup QBs of Celticsblog. Even when they quit on the team.
Could be, or just a bad game. Not like he's getting help from the rest of the team.What a freaking pathetic showing. Pathetic. Terrible on so many levels.
When Jason Kidd and Pargioni are getting to the rim at will you know you're pathetic.
those guys are 75 years old combined.
somethings must be bothering avery bradley tonight.
1. Why am i still watching?
2. Does Doc really think this team can comeback?
3. Do you think the Celtics will get eliminated in the 1st round?

Even though we don't always agree, I'm trying to give everyone a TP. I truly enjoy all the company while watching the games.

Bass is a rotation caliber player. He's not a starting level player who should be getting 30+ as de facto center which is what he's been put into with KG out. He really shouldn't be getting 30 minutes at PF either.
Are you seriously saying Bass is a rotation quality player right now? Are we arguing about that? There's a very good chance that Randolph and White are worse or the same but even if the chance that they're better FOR WHAT THIS TEAM needs, aka rebounding, is tiny, why not at least give them a chance. They're on the roster, they're signed for the year, why are they on the team if a crap player like Bass is going to play heavy minutes. That's a huge failing by Doc and Ainge, no?

5 STRAIGHT LOSSES! marvelous! just marvelous! at this rate we will fall to the 8th seed and get swept in 4 by the heat.Fortunately for us the Bucks have been equally bad.

DJ White is barely a better rebounder than Bass and a much worse defender.
Randolph has gotten so few minutes the past few years I have no idea what he's capable of. The few stretches I've seen him this year he was pretty bad on the glass though. (Charlotte? Just got muscled around a lot)
Randolph looking good. If you like rebounds.Well..I think I do...! LOL..!
Randolph looking good. If you like rebounds.

Fixed it.
Shaq's dunk was totally better than LeBron's.
There was a game in 2008 when they were getting blasted on the boards and trailing. Up to that point, Powe had barely played at all. Doc decided in the third quarter to give Powe a chance and he completely turned the board situation around by himself. From that point on, Powe was a rotation regular and there's a good chance the Celtics wouldn't have won a championship without him being in the rotation in the Finals. Just the simple fact that someone isn't in the rotation doesn't mean they can't play. Doc not infallible...!
I can't even understand his mindset. Isn't he frustrated with Bass too? Is he trying to torture fans by keeping him out there minute after minute after minute?
Shaq's dunk was totally better than LeBron's.
Shav's so dominant you thought he was Shaq!
In MY world...Rebounds ARE defense..!!!!!!!!

You've got it all wrong, that's considered 'hip' in China. Shav's bringin' that swag to the US!
My boy is trend-settin'!
There is no way to "win" against your argument either, as White/Randolph aren't going to suddenly be given 27 MPG to "prove" they're worse than Bass.This isn't true. Bass is shooting around the same percentage as last year, rebounding the same, and overall playing a similar level of defense.But its true. Bass is a nba rotation level player, Randolph/White couldn't even get a minimum contract at the start of the season.Fringe NBA players aren't our salvation. The sad truth is that Bass is a better player than both of them.
