One of the worst games by a starting player I have ever seen since the Celtics were a team. What is wrong with him? Why does Doc keep starting him?

In response to celticsince1958's comment:

Only reason I can think of is the Celts are showcasing him.

In response to Fierce34's comment:

He doesn't have anyone else.  The celtics are so thin up front that it is scary. 

In response to celticsince1958's comment:

Hopefully he'll be gone by Feb. 21.

i feel bad for the guy.  he's the last of the funk ridden players to start coming around.  it looked like some of the last few games he might have been coming back into it and now this. 

 

but what can you really complain about- our old old old legs win a 3 OT marathon with JT, the guy people buried as dead and gone being the spark plug and KG has 20 and 18.  i don't ever want to see KG and PP play this many minutes again unless it's semi-finals or deeper in the playoffs but we are on a GREAT RUN right now.  we were outrebounded by nearly 15 tonight (is it tomorrow yet?) and still won!

Right now I would take the 1990-1991 Ed Pinckney over Bass.

In response to Fierce34's comment:

i would too

not even a tough choice actually....

Let's hope Ainge can get rid of him next week.

It would be a disaster if he keeps getting all these minutes in the playoffs.

Sadly I would also take Joe Kleine over wilcox, Collins or Melo.

 

Ha.

Right now the Celts have the 15th pick of the 2013 Draft. Hopefully Ainge can package that pick with Bass.

In response to Kirk6's comment:

The problem with that is he's lost confidence in his jumper. There was a time in the 1st half when he passed up an open jumper to go to the basket and ended up turning the ball over.

Bass couldn't even exploit Wilson Chandler in the low post, ended up getting his shot blocked.

That was the difference in last year's playoffs against the Heat, Bass just couldn't exploit the smaller Shane Battier. If the Celts had Jeff Green last season, the Celts would have had Banner 18.

In response to Kirk6's comment:

Kirk are you surmising Terry had a worse game than Bass.  All irrelevant stats.  Barbosa made a key very unselfish play, Terry was one of the reasons we won the game in three overtimes. Terry is showing you he is much better than Ray and is a valuable asset.

In response to Fierce34's comment:

only if rondo went down in a heap....

you see how well things went for green under rondo's PG tutelage after the OKC trade and this year....  there would not have been any big renaissance or emergence with rondo pounding the ball flat into the floor 18 seconds of every posession

In response to Kirk6's comment:

He missed 3, not 5, Kirk! And he made game winning three, that's why DA brought him here - to make big shots.

bass is your best trade chip..trading bass and a pick....

The problem is not Bass being bad, the problem is that Wilcox is just as bad. We are so thin up front it scares the sh*t out of me.

Hard to figure how Bass seems to perform worse than the year before..Unless hes dunking or with an open 15 footer, he trembles with the ball in his hands.

Last night against the Nuggets he got a few post-ups and looked horrible. At least the guy seems to put out the effort each game, just his results arent good enough. Losing Sully is a killer for us....

In response to Karllost's comment:

Jeff Green earned his starting post last night. Bass was pathetic. especially on the rebounding end. PP and KG did't get any help on the boards from these younger dudes. He's a  6'8" big body who's afraid to get down and dirty under  the glass.
