So we're watching minutes already, huh?

If you didn't hear last night's post-game call in show, you missed me already starting to get worked up about minutes.  Right off the bat... I'm wondering what Doc was thinking with Ray Allen, who played 42 minutes in last nights win. 42 minutes on opening night.  42 minutes on the front-end of back-to-back games.  42 minutes on a night where he wasn't really carrying the majority of the offensive load.  42 minutes of play when Eddie House and Marquis Daniels, two guys specifically tasked with giving him some rest, COMBINED for 30 minutes.This can all be remedied by cutting back on the minutes tonight.  If Ray plays 32 minutes tonight... then we can all move on and just chalk this up to me being a jerk with a hair trigger temper and internet space to fill.But I fear that it won't be remedied.  I'm afraid Doc leans on Ray too much.  He has for two years now.  Ray is ALWAYS the guy who plays the most minutes.  I know he's in phenomenal shape.  But we don...

Lester Hudson is a better 3 point shooter than Ray Allen

Via Red's Army  |  October 26, 2009
Ball Don't Lie has compiled a list of preseason statistical oddities... and among them...Eddie House made nearly five times as many three-pointers as Ray Allen. Hell, something named a "Lester Hudson" made more three-pointers than Allen, who missed 15 of 19 looks from downtown during the preseason.A great non-Celtics one:  Larry Hughes missed all 20 shots he...

Doc explains Ray's minutes

Via Red's Army  |  October 29, 2009
The Boston Celtics have played 96 minutes of basketball so far this season.  Ray Allen has played 80:22 of those minutes.  I started bitching about it yesterday... and then I continued last night on Twitter.  I got a lot of "it's too early to start on this" type of comments... which I understand.  But at least I'm not the only one who noticed.Today on Dennis...

Maybe guys should start upfaking LeBron or something

Via Red's Army  |  October 28, 2009
LeBron's chase-down blocks on Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen were spectacular.  Here's the thing... it's kinda becoming his "thing."  Maybe guys should stop and up-fake... or try to glide under the hoop and go for the reverse lay up.  Cuz 'Bron is comin... ain't no doubt about that.  Time for plan B.Hat Tip: BDL via BallerBlogger

Comments from the Other Side - Cavs 10/27

Via Celtics Green ...a boston celtics blog.  |  October 28, 2009
I just have this feeling we are gonna drop this one. PROVE ME WRONG CAVS!!!!!!! Let's Go Cav's!!!! I have been waiting for this game since we went down in Orlando. I know the Cav's are the real deal this season. The Celtics will be going home sad that they are starting the season 0-1. I hate to lose to Rasheed Wallace. I really hate to lose to Boston. Loss...

Celtics take opener, 95-89

Via 17 Banners  |  October 27, 2009
 The Celtics came out of the gates slowly, but it isn't how you start. It's how you finish. And the Celtics finished strong, knocking off the Cavs 95-89. The good thing about this game, outside of the win, is that there's one less game in which I have to watch LeBron James, Side Show Bob, and Humpty Dumpty play. Hooray for me. KG came through unscathed, though he did...

Could LeBron Win Defensive Player of the Year?

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  October 28, 2009
Premature, sure.  But it is not like LeBron James just started blocking shots and playing the passing lanes like few others before him.  Last night’s blocks on Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen are likely just the tip of the iceberg.  James was second in the league in DPoY voting last season, and will likely get a [...]

Pierce, Celtics spoil Cavaliers' debut of LeBron, Shaq

Via CBSSports  |  October 27, 2009
Paul Pierce scored 23 points, Ray Allen 16 and Kevin Garnett 13 in his first regular-season game since last March as the Boston Celtics beat Cleveland 95-89 on Tuesday night in the NBA season opener, spoiling the hyped debut of the Cavaliers with LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal.

Oct 27: Celtics 95, Cavs 89

Via Inside Hoops  |  October 28, 2009
The AP reports: Boston’s Big Three—plus Rasheed—spoiled Cleveland’s overhyped season opener on Tuesday night with a 95-89 win over the new-look Cavaliers, who may have LeBron James and Shaq but appear to be a long way from true title contenders. Paul Pierce scored 23 points, Ray Allen 16 and Kevin Garnett 13 in his first [...]
