He convinced me last nite that he needs playing time. He looked like he fit right in. Made two good throws to team mates for assists, (one was blocked) Didn't hesitate on his shot and made a couple. Didn't hold on to the ball and dribble 20 seconds of the clock. His defense definitely wasn't any worse than someone else I know. -

but he won't get more minutes. doc is using arroyo as ray allen's back up right now and not much else. rondo should be on the pine healing up whatever is hurt now. could be "MPH" from the perkins trade. whatever it is. give rondo 30 mins a night and arroyo 18. straight up. 30+18=48.
and then arroyo can play another 10 minutes a night spelling ray. let's do it. the guy has good fundamentals and doesn't make a lot of mistakes.
somehow krstic can fit right in, so can arroyo, he's an experienced vet, been around the block.
something tells me we will never see 18 mins of arroyo a night at the point though.... he runs the risk of functioning better than someone you know. and then what happens? -

Arroyo did have a nice debut last night, but he won't see much playing time when Delonte comes back. We really miss Delonte's presence running the point behind Rondo. If he is running Arroyo behind Ray then maybe he will receive more time at that position, especially if Von doesn't come back anytime soon. -

I don't know that we can predict what Doc will do. I bet he's still experimenting and after a good performance by Arroyo, he may be willing to give him some PG minutes with the starters. -

I am not sure about the Delonte. He has had about 1 good game this year, and we really missed his running the second team? Arroya is a true PT Guard, Delonte isn't. Delonte needs to play 2 guard and Arroya Pt.

Heard Doc on WEEI this morning saying that Arroyo only knows how to run out of 3 offensive sets. I assume the longer he's with the team, the more he will understand and the more minutes he will be able to contribute. -

Doc won't play Arroyo enough. His history of distributing minutes confirms this.Sad, really. This is an old team and it needs rest. I'm afraid Doc is running his starters into the ground. Look no further than last year.Play the heck out of these new guys: they're darn good, make this team much younger and aggressive, can slash to the paint and get fouled. I love seeing the speed. -

I was impressed with him last night. I am hoping it only gets better. I need to see him in a couple more games to be 100% confident in him. -

JHC!! Will you stop the whining! Go outside and smell the roses through your glazed over glasses. I for one enjoy the perspecives, analysis, debate and opinions on what we may be doing wrong and how we can improve. -

i dont want to be too negative,but mo williams hit way too many threes. part of that falls on arroyo. he was solid offensively though. hopefully these new guys can pick up on the defensive portion of things soon. -

Posted by existentialparquetRondo was guarding Mo Williams, not Arroyo. You didn't see Rondo foul Mo Will taking a 3pt shot? -

I dont think DW or BBD will be back Sunday according to the article on BDC today.
