I'll give credit to Pierce making some sick plays in crunch time, but I think the sealing play in that game was Davis' offensive board off a Pierce miss.

lol. you just defined playmaking. by making a good offensive move towards the basket and drawing the bigs, Pierce gave Big Baby an opportunity to get the O rebound. playmaking.

I wouldn't exactly call missing a shot playmaking, a play is something you create on purpose, if you go by that definition derrick martin is a great playmaker because every time he chucks the ball one of the raps have a chance to get the rebound... :crazy:

Everyone was pointing at the Celtic's lack of depth, bench as the reason why they won't last long. The irony is that their bench is better than ours which is the most overrated in the NBA (by Raps fans obviously). Boston's bench scored 40 pts of the total 90pts in a tight game against an elite team.

Tony Allen and Posey is a better perimeter defender than any of Raps players. House is as good a shooter as any of our bench player. Glenn Davis is a better frontcourt player than any of ours on the bench.

The only real depth we have is at PG. Now that TJ's health is a concern. We don't even have it anymore. We have 0 depth and our starters are among the worst in the NBA. THank you BC. You came here and got a number 1 pick and lots of cap space and this is what you did. Pathetic.

Kevin O'Neil.

Seriously, his theory is that you are better to get back in a sound defensive position than you are expending energy trying to grab an offensive board.

BTW, I watched the Celtics game and Big Baby stole that game for Boston.

Yeah, that was a real dominating 15/5 (4-11FG) perfromance by KG :roll:

Bosh gets skewered on this board for 23/16...

I watched the game and nothing came easy for Big Baby, he hit a lot of and1's and was always in a crowd of pistons and somehow got the board. His play was great, I was hoping we would have picked him up in the draft.

I'm not saying he had a dominating performance but his skills are far better than Bosh. how often do you see Bosh take a turn around jumper or go to the basket the first split second the ball is in his hands? That's what I was getting to.

Wow, you think?? How dare Bosh not be a top 25 player in NBA history like he was promised to be :roll:

uh..pretty much every game. In fact, he just hit three turnaround jumpers on postups against the Pistons

Anyone questioning Big Baby is foolish. This kid has done nothing but improve every game. He's been great for the Celts and good on them for drafting him second round.

Pierce's penetration drew the bigs which gave Baby an opportunity to get inside position and grab the O rebound. I don't see how your D-murr play is applicable, like, at all.
