West, Allen, Gomes, Powe and Scal should be our bench unit ultimately..... We basically just need another big guy in there so Scal only plays spot minutes. We could use another shooter if Wally cant be that(Ray looks nice), and veteran pg to our 3rd pg if Telfair cant be that(Telfair looks better defensively). If these guys ever start playing to their potential and we get some semblance of a concrete rotation and develop some chemistry we are going to be very good.

Here goes Doc with the small ball..... How do you sit Jefferson in a 10 pt game with 3 minutes left? It's stuff like that that just is way overthinking.

Good stuff...... Doc is starting to drive me nuts though. I wish he would settle on a rotation soon. Al Jefferson continues to get better and better and better. It's scary....
They said during the game that Al is an elite player now and they are right. He is one of the best if not the best pf around right now imo.
green also looks like he's finally starting to come into his own.

Al is not only reaching doubles in frebounds, but getting mid-teens rather than just 10 or 11. Seems to me that his rebounding has come farther than his offense.
I have not liked West as a starting PG. I think he has enough injuries to raise concern about his durability. I like the idea of a guy going all out, but his first job is to be able to play. DA ahs picked up a couple of of 1s to speed things up. Earlier I thought Telfair should be starting. Rondo is clearly ahead of him. Rondo off the bench is good. But so far he has had no injuries, which is a good predictere that he will be ready to go at game time.
I like the starting lineup tonight best, if Perkins can go. Scal is kind of a plugger---there are logts of places he can be plugged in as needed.
AJ is breaking out in his 3rd year, living up to expectations. Greene will be in his 3rd year next year, so keep him playing. he is more talented than AJ, so miove him along.

I agree Ferbo. Green looks a lot better of late. Tonights lineup was nice to see. I still say this team isn't far off if we get another big guy in the draft or via trade and settle on a rotation. Next season should be like night and day if we get some chemistry going.

Excellent game by Rondo. I like that he was being aggressive with the ball and actually looking for his own shots. We need that out of our PG's because they help to spread the scoring load. His stroke is getting better and I hope to see a big improvement next season after he works on it tirelessly this summer.
Telfair needs to play more to get his confidence back up. He's definitely fallen behind of Rondo on the depth chart, but I think he can still be a productive PG this season as a backup, and come back next season a better player as well. Doc has shot his confidence.
Big Al is simply amazing. The progress he's made is just incredible. His confidence is sky high and he's got a leader-like demeanor. I'd like to see him face Amare right now and see who wins.
