We will be O.K. without Jeffries, Isiah should start Balkman, same kind of make up as a player. Bring Q off the bench.

Q


Yeah, Rose is out of the rotation if he only started off playing 9 minutes and didn't see game time after that. I'm sure in regular season, that's how it would be, but since it's pre season, I wouldn't be surprised to see Isiah throw Balkman in there and see how he can run with the bigger guns. Maybe he can knock down Paul Pierce.

yea but did you hear Isiah's explination on why Rose was pulled? He felt the game was filled with rookies and got "ratty and small" so he diddnt want to insult rose by puttingh im back in... Either he was bull****ting and rose is done or he will give him his real chance tonight... we will see!

Chalk this up as another meaningless pre-season game. No Paul Pierce and Delonte West more than likely. Paul has I believe a not so serious Hip Strain injury and Delonte has an infected toe. Also no Theo and Scalabrine which means they'll be lacking some depth.

They have some exciting young players in Rondo & Gomes(straight studs), Green, Telfair, and Ray. They have some other young talent in Jefferson, Perkins, and Allen who I imagine will all play, but they are still inexperienced as any other young core. Nevertheless this will be another game that's essentially pick-upesque, Summer League post season.

Rondo is actually my sleeper for ROY

Their game plan tonight is going to be track meet. Their coach Doc Rivers has a rule in place, since they aren't a well established halfcourt team nor does he think they will be........ he's decided that they need to get their shots off in 7sec or less. If against adequate defense 5sec left on the shot clock.

I accept that explanation and feel the same way. I think Thomas is handling this situation very well. He is showing Rose alot of respect. I think it is disrespectful to have your veterans out there in what is actually just a glorified SL game. Whatever I think of Rose, he is a NBA veteran, not some hopeful rookie or second year player needing development.

I really wanted to see how Jefferies would guard Paul Pierce for us. I'm sick of Pierce OWNING us.

I wasn't implying your lack of knowledge concerning their team, just broke it down on paper that's all.

Im actually dissapointed that the Celts are playing without Pierce and West. Now the Knicks are in a lose-lose situation tonight, if they win then everybody say "they beat a depleted team, anybody should win", and if they lose then it will be like "wow they cant beat the celts without two of there best players".

I guess the only upside is that perhaps the knicks will get into a winning mindset to start the season, nothing will make these guys more devoted to IT's gameplan than wins.
