I agree with that Lee. This is a very important game for Amir to play but Flip won't do it. I don't think Amir gets any pt tonight. Does anyone seriously think he will get any minutes?

Horn is mentoring Maxey for the #4
Uncle Sheed is mentoring AJ for the #5

sounds great to me.

C-Bill is indeed bigger than Rondo, but it wouldn't surprise me if the Celtics bring a double team on C-Bill if he tries to post up which means kicking out to an open man for the jump shot including threes. If we hit the 3s and the short jumpers on those plays we will be fine, if not Rondo will neutralize C-Bill because C-Bill won't get the calls if he takes Rondo to the hoop.

Who gets more minutes tonight, Walter or Amir?

It depends. Most likely not, however I can think of a couple of situations other than a blowout where AJ may get some minutes.

If Sheed gets in early foul trouble AJ may get a few minutes when the Celtics pull KG if Sheed is still on the bench due to the fouls.

If Sheed gets tossed early then AJ may get a few minutes to rest Dyess and Maxey. Though it seems to me that those minutes would probably go to Brezec if he dresses tonight.

It could be however that Flipper doesn't even dress AJ tonight but rather Brezec and Herrmann.

Might as well have both of them in a coat and tie.

Well it seems like it's too soon to call it (2:50 left in the first quarter) but it looks like the calls could put our team in foul trouble. And Garnett is like untouchable so what will that mean for Sheed? I usually hate that "jumping into players to get to the line" strategy, but we may need to get them in foul trouble. Are we supposed to swallow the idea that their supposedly great defense is not fouling our guys ever?

Nice to see a few of our bench guys out here at the end of the 1st however.

GO PISTONS!!!!

What a way to win and shut up the Celtics fans. Billups pump fake, 2 free throws for the win at the end.

Unbelievable. I gotta go find a Celts forum so I can soak up the sour grapes.

Nov 13 LW Milan Lucic had an active night. He scored his first goal in eight games since his Oct. 25 hat trick and also pounded Michael Komisarek in a third-period fight. Lucic cut his hand in a fight with Michael Komisarek. "I'll be fine," he said. "(X-rays are) negative, but there's so many broken bones in there from before you can't really tell."

The bench won this one. Lindsey and Maxiel had direct effects on the outcome while AA just seems to get it done. It's going to be great when Stuckey gets back, and AA gets more mins, he practically played a perfect game.

Nice adjustments on defense during halftime by Flipper
