Who needs to score 80+ points anyway???

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 06:39:46 -0500

Not the Bobcats. They scored just 79 points monday night against the Nets, but still managed to walk away with an 11 point win. This game was not pretty to watch ( The Bobcats had a 10 point first quarter... The Nets trumped that with a 7 point third ) but a win is a win is a win. And 2-2 feels a lot better than 1-3. DJ Augustin was large this game with 21 points and 3 steals off the bench. Gerald Wallace was a grown man with 24 points ...

Rasheed Wallace Might Be a Starter?

Thu, 09 Jul 2009 08:01:31 -0500

We all assumed Rasheed Wallace would be coming off the bench, but Mark Murphy put the question to Doc Rivers:

Rivers now gets to contemplate the possibilities. Does he start Wallace or bring him off the bench behind Kendrick Perkins? That matter was actually discussed during last week’s meeting in Detroit.

“We did talk about that, and it’s like I’ve always said: We’ll get to camp and work it out there,” Rivers said. “We’re just going to put our best five on the floor, as always. But it’s going to work for everyone.

“It’s a long season. I hope they all play 20 minutes a night and stay fresh after what we went through last year.”

So maybe that's why this happened so fast. Wallace was told he'll get the chance to start. I want Wallace to come off the bench because he brings more offense to the second unit, something we so desparately lacked last season. Give us your thoughts in the comments and vote in our poll (on the right sidebar).

Marc Spears updates us on KG's rehab via Doc Rivers:

“He looks great. Good to see him walk normal again and talk more, definitely louder and happier. So, Kevin is back.’’

Last night on Sports Tonight, Gary Tanguay said the Celtics were still trying to sway Grant Hill, although a story in today's NY Post never mentions the Celtics as an option. I'm tired of waiting for Grant Hill to make up his mind. The Celtics should give him a 48-hour deadline to sign. If he passes, they then move on to plan B.

In another Post story, Stephon Marbury says the Celtics told him they won't resign him and that he is considering playing in Europe.

The Cavaliers continue to stack their roster. They've resigned Andy Varajeao to a 5 yr, $50 million deal and have agreed to a contract structure with the guy I wanted the Celtics to sign, Anthony Parker. And there's a rumor that sends Wally Szczberiak and JJ Hickson to Charlotte for Gerald Wallace.
