Reflections on POB?

[Barry Lird]

From the little we've seen of him, rather than write a lengthy diatribe about the guy I'd simply describe him as talented yet soft. Currently not a good match for the Celtics. Pretty much 180 degrees from Perk. Maybe things will change... maybe not.

Pretty good assessment. I've already decided I just don't like his game at all. His body language, everything just screams lack of hustle, effort. He's the anti-Powe. I'm disappointed that Danny brought him on board. I still think we'll need another tall USEFUL big for the stretch run and playoffs. There one team with a massive front line that I have in mind that we'll need another long productive big against.

We can get away with Baby and Powe in the post for the regular season though. Leon is a true warrior, and I'm so glad he's on the team.

Hopefully this will quiet all those folks who wanted POB in the rotation instead of Baby or Powe. The guy has talent and skill, but he really is a long way from contributing. Hopefully Clifford can work his magic. I thought POB actually hustled, but he is long, slow, and has no clue out there. He is one of those guys who even when he's trying it doesn't look like he's trying.

I think he should go to the D-league, along with a C's coach, and learn basketball a bit.

Not sure how "talented" he really is. But he is very tall and moves okay for a guy that size. I suppose people like to call that talented but if he was 6'2" he wouldn't make it in a rec league. You look at him and think DAMN if that guy just could learn how to play a little we would have something..
