Celtics(27-4) at Kings (7-23) 12/28

TA has become more and more irritating everytime I watch him.  He hasnt really done anything notably wrong in this game, Im just really tired of watching him leave his feet on defense.

I'd almost rather have Kedrick Brown out there.

I'd like to see Pruitt at PG with House at SG, Pierce at SF, Powe at PF, Perk(if hes not in foul trouble) at C as the second unit for just a couple of games.

Never gonna happen though, unless a TA trade is on the horizon IMO.

leaving his feet is probably the only thing that i dislike about TA, he's a role player, what do you want from him?

just now rondo fell for and upfake, saved himself, then when he really shot rondo didn't contest at all... SWISH.

TA is a roleplayer.  What I want from him is to fill his role.  I dont expect him to be a star or some kind of offensive force off the bench, or anything like that.  At the very least I think Tonys role on this team is STRONG defense at the 2 spot.  A guy who is skilled on the defensive end and a knowledgable defensive player doesnt jump on every pump fake.  It's really irritating.

Like I said, and I know this has been beat to death on these boards, but I dont expect him to be a star on this team, but not being able to stay on your feet on defense, driving to the hoop with your head down, and taking the ball to the hoop by yourself and getting fouled on the break when you could have just passed the ball to a teammate for an easy layup is very frustrating.

In a dream world, id just like to take him out, and put Pruitt in for a couple of games and see what happens.

the other part of his role is scoring, he's the only player on the second unit that can really create his own shot by driving to the basket.

Eddie is a catch&shoot player.
Leon is a post-up/ Putback player (secret weapon jumpshot)
BBD is a putback guy who's developing a jump shot
Scal is a catch&shoot guy

and the only ecception is pruitt who was a REALLY good scorer in college and has the potential to create his own looks.

Thats exactly why I'd like to see TA and Pruitt switch for a few games and see what happens, youre right about Tony and his ability to score, but so far wouldnt you agree its only been mediocre?  Lets see how Pruitt responds with a heavier role on the team.  Just my opinion.

i think that pruitt and TA together would be the best option for the second unit.

House

well i think the GS loss was emotional and tired legs...a day off has been good for this team...anxious to see how they respond in portland tuesday

the portland game should be a great one.  especially since broy is going bananas lately!

you are right....that place is going to be jumping and roy is playing out of his skull...i cant wait until cleveland has to play the heavy hitters like the lakers, portland, utah  orlando like boston already has...the cavs sked has been fairly easy so far

[cordobes]

I predict some major POB time. This Sacramento team has the worst collection of talent in the league. They need to trade Brad Miller and his 2010 $12 million expiring contract for some young talent. I sure the Knicks would give them someone.

Kevin Martin is a future star, Spencer Hawes, Jason Thompson and Bobby Brown are decent projects, Salmons and Garcia consistently overplay their contracts. Udrih is kind of overpaid, but that's their only problem. As long as they manage to sell Miller as high as possible, they should be fine.

I agree a true point guard on the floor would help House and Allen play more to their strengths, but I think that unit would be too undersized to compete.

Pierce or Allen with 4 of those guys ought to match up OK, though.

I guess thats not bad.  Though, I'd like to keep Ray or Paul with that second unit, and with the way House helps spread the floor, TA is the odd man out IMO.  Im just in favor of giving Pruitt more time to see what he can provide once he gets in the thick of things thats all.

Good debate, and TP for your thoughts and opinions.

leon is a beast

10 minutes, 6 points, 6 rebounds, 5 of them offensive. Solid, as usual.

Alright Doc, put POB in.
