Scal Beats the Buzzer

2:37 p.m. - The attitude is upbeat, and guys cheering each other on. You couldn't ask for much more camp kumbaya (actually, we're still calling it "Ubuntu", come to think of it) than the Celtics are getting here at Salve Regina. Yesterday, Paul Pierce was handing out more chest bumps than Eddie House's son did in the postseason. And today, it was high-fives all around as Brian Scalabrine drained the game-winning threeball at the end of the final scrimmage game of this morning's practice session.

"We drew it up for Scal," Coach Doc Rivers said, noting that Ray Allen, who delivered the pass to Scalabrine, was the decoy on the play and it worked to perfection. "The entire team knew they'd go for Ray."

"Then ending was perfect. It was a lot of end-of-game situations," Rivers said of Friday's session.

Scalabrine wasn't the only one who had a strong session. According to Rivers, Darius Miles had perhaps his best practice of camp, despite thinking yesterday that he might need the day off.

Instead, Miles gave it a go and felt good.

"I'm used to four or five days of two-a-days," Miles said. "My first couple of days in Portland, we didn't have a day off until December."

if it were any playoff game, even in the first round... Ray Allen fires up that 3, even if he's double teamed... and i'd commend him for it if the alternative was a pass to Scal.

Maybe Scal can make up for the loss of Posey's 3 point shooting? 06-07, when he got significant playing time, he had a decent year shooting wise and hit 40% from deep. He hit 40% from 3 at home last year as well. The only thing that is bad about Scal's shooting is that the pressure seems to get to him and he'll throw up an air ball on occasion. When we signed Scal, this was the type of team we intended to have him for, he can come in off the bench hit a 3 or 2 and take some charges. It might not be all bad if he's on the active roster.
