Jeff Green has Luke Walton on him and he hasn't tried to exploit that mismatch. That's what I mean about not having that scorer's mentality.
Green is playing just the way he did when he got in here in Feb. of 2011. Consistently inconsistent.
If you watch Green on offense all he does is stand out around the 3pt line....

Since we have no center why would Melo not be up here to get some experience? This a .500 team how could playing Melo hurt us at this point? At the very least he can run around and block a shot or two and grab a rebound. Someone else must see this or maybe I just don't understand the C's game plan.

if AB was out there instead of Terry, the Celts would be taking over the game right now. There's no place for Terry on this team

Unless he is being hidden so he can be traded. You are right. How could he be worse than Collins?

One of the many intractable problems on this team. Terry just has to find his game here or sit. Who would want him the way he is playing?

I have a feeling about Green. I think the team around him, specifically Rondo out front, our substandard or inexperienced SGs and team chemistry is negatively affecting his play. He will blossom into a key contributor and a foundation of this team, once the trades are completed and we play for the Champiopnship next year!...

I agree to some extent but sometimes you have to be careful with young players like Melo...you dont want to push him too fast because he could struggle and lose confidence... the bottom line is that Ainge needs to address the big man situation another way...

Huh? I will wait for it to come someday as he is probably going nowhere.

I tend to agree... I also think that Terry is in the same boat... I dont think Docs offensive schemes work toward their strenghts..

It just doesn't make sense to me. This team is .500 and has no big man. I am no rocket scientist but wtf. Hidden in a trade? I don't know. If I am coaching this team I want all my weapons to try and win. It would be different if the team was good but they aren't as they are currently constructed.

The team can win this game and still be in crisis. I have not like much other than Sullinger tonight.

Paul Pierce is straight garbage. He might hit for 29 Thursday against the Knicks (or maybe 14) but he is just straight garbage. He's slow and very predictable.
His passes and his shots are so easily deflected. And when he gets that wide open shot, he looks awkward shooting. He even looks awkward on the foul line.
Pierce is an obstacle to this team's success.

We have no big man. Whats to push.....give him a few minutes here and there and bring him along slow. WE HAVE NO ONE RIGHT NOW. I REPEAT NO ONE. LISTEN D.A. Get big man or bring Melo up

Irving steals the ball from Rondo.
Irving beats Rondo and makes layup
to give Cavs the lead...

Sad to say I am with you on this... for every one good game he has 10 bad ones.... lets face it, he was there go to guy but he isnt that any longer... this team really has no go to guy which is a big problem imo

So was that Rondo being stupid and careless with the ball or Pierce's faul for his man being able to double team. I think that was Rondo careless at an important moment.

Do you have some inside info we don't know about? Playing for a championship next year? Do u believe Ainge will trade Rondo before the deadline?
