I love pointing out your mistakes, but this time I'll let you fix it yourself. This post will be a reminder of your past transgressions, though.

Hopefully before anyone else posts so people will be like, "Hmm, I wonder what the mistake was."

And I'll never tell.

Jerk. I'll find it.

Got it. And now nobody needs to know...

Will KG play? He is listed as day-to-day and Doc said he probably won`t. I wouldn`t mind if he sat one more game out there is no need to risk anything and I would like to see how we play another game without KG.

MIA just won their last game against IND and broke a 15 game losing streak, so I don`t know what we can expect from them in this one. I guess we will see a big game from Davis and Blount will definitely be motivated, so we need to play tough.

KG is out tonight. Hopefully Big Baby gets the start in his place.

KG's out but I don't know about the matchups for our bigs here with that said.

Baby,Powe,Scal,Perk agaisnt Haslem Blount.

Both of those guys can be outsides players, only tonight can Blount actually play inside because he's motivated.

I want Perk near the basket to soak up some fouls and make Wade's penetration a little work intensive... so I guess Perk on Haslem... and Powe or Scal on Blount.

Baby would be decent on Haslem too I think.

Scal looks so damn elegant in that pic! He is like a ballet dancer.

Agree, no reason not to play Baby tonight. No shot blockers for Miami. Pierce can go at Blount all day, no need to really draw him out. I'm not going to torch Doc for starting the veteran Scal, but, would be somewhat critical if he logs significant minutes.

Ray Allen may be out as well...

He looks so damn pale too. I guess its not his fault though. Redheads don't usually tan well.

Hopefully Scala gets 30 tonight. We need to get his value up.

Scal is not a scorer he is a defensive stopper. He completely shut down Lewis in the first half of the ORL game!

That's true, I've been very impressed with his D. But I'm sure he could be fed a little. Not comparing the two, but have you seen how good Perk has looked lately.

Im happy with Scal starting.

Perk has been playing well since the start of the season with the exception of a few games. But people only think someone has a good game if they score 10+ points...

So, Rondo, Tony Allen, Pierce, Scal, Perk.

Nice. Good thing it's just the Heat.

I am excited other guys are getting some min tonight. they need it before the playoffs and we will be in the playoffs.

I am not buying these guys will have a hard time scoring. games like this without your stars turns out to be a scoring spree.

this is a good game for those guys to play without KG & RA.

go celts, beat the heat!!!!

I guess you and Doc were both happy with his last start with 1 pt, 1 reb. He did do a decent job on Lewis, but he produced nothing at the other end, which the C's dearly needed him to give them a little more than he did. At the very least, Doc should have split the mintues between Scal and Baby to try to get some boards and some scores.

We need to see lots of Baby post ups and Rondo drives and jumpers if we are going to win with no KG and no ray

The HD broadcast of the game isn't working for me.
