How about them Geezers Sam and PJ

[rondohondo]

Both Sam ans PJ made major contributions tonight. Sam made a few bad plays in the second half, but overall he ran the offense pretty well and played good enough defense and scored 8 pts. PJ cam though with huge offensive rebounds and played tremendous D. Way to go old fellas that's why we brought you here!!!!

[BudweiserCeltic]

I gotta agree about Sam, he's running the offense quite nicely, and has improved (in running it) substantially since he started the playoffs, but he gets carried away sometimes and he starts to hurt us. Overall, I thought he did more good than bad tonight.

I'm completely done with Sam.  If we don't see Eddie in this series it will be outrageous.  PJ has been playing with confidence since that great shot in Game 7 against the Cavs.  He's a big key to our success.

Although, Sam made some good shots earlier in the game, he had poor shot selections in the 2nd half. He did run the offense quite nicely like you said. PJ Brown played great. He got some big offensive rebounds late in the 4th quarter. Played great defense, too.

Looking at stat lines you don't get the jist of just how well PJ helped tonight...not to mention Perk out with injury.  I'd add Leon in limited minutes also helped.
great job by everyone
sam hurts the team more than he helps , sorry
Great job by Ray Allen on D, if I wasn't going to fall asleep I'd write a post on his play tonight
C's!!

I was stunned when Sam passed up the three that led to a shot clock violation.

He played decently in the first half, but in the second......

We didn't even need Perk to return.  PJ was more than enough against Gasol tonight.

yea he struggled a bit in the second half but still finished with 8 pts off the bench and had a steal and an assist and took that charge on Kobe. Plus he only had that 1 turnover I can live with that from my backup PG.

Perk was awful last night... he really dissapointed me. Got my hopes up in the Detroit series, and he comes here with lack of energy on the defensive end and almost killed our captain. Looking for a bounce back game on Sunday, but he needs to come up with better energy and rotate better in defense... for a moment I thought it was Powe in there, and Powe in the other hand had a nice game defensively.

Doc said in his halftime talk we are 12 deep.  I like to think House and Big Baby will be giving the Lakers a bit of a different look on Sunday.  That is, when the powers that be aren't taking it to them.  Go Celts!

I know after all the bad shots he put up in the second half in I couldn't believe that he passed up that three. 

I do love Sam though,  but only in small doses

[Toine43]

Memo to Doc- We're no longer playing the Detroit Pistons! I hope you realize now that we CAN play Eddie at pg without being burned by ball pressure. Now that we don't have to deal with Lindsey, go with the guy who brings energy and intensity to both ends of the floor.

I'm lovin P.J. right now though. He's an absolute enforcer on defense, and he's a rock solid player to have in a rotation. I'm gainaing more and more respect for P.J. Brown every game he plays.

i gotta agree here. with the crap he was throwing up in the 2nd half, when he finally got an open look, i almost threw my beer at a lakers fan when he didn't take that shot. i was practically screaming for rondo at that point.

[BballTim]

  The problem with Sam is that when he hits a few shots it's like a "get out of jail free" card. No matter how he plays after that he gets 3-4 minutes longer than he should, and then Rondo comes back cold because he sat for so long.

[wdleehi]

PJ played great.



Sam played good until the Lakers made a switch.  Putting Kobe on him took away the post up.

If they continue to do this, either the man being guarded by the PG posts him up, or use House.
