I agree! Bring in Toine! Who on the FA list is better? Bonzi Wells? /puke That guy is a horrible teammate.

Walker could give the Celtics 12 points per game off the bench as long as the Celtics let him shoot it 22 times per game. :roll:

No thank you.


Actually, based in his career, Toine would only need 12 shots to score 12 points.

I think there are enough shots for Toine to get 10-12 per game off the bench. All those shots Rondo passes up...Toine could get 15 per game.

Rondo plays about 3 minutes a game with the bench. So thats 5 shots a minute. I think Walker's good for it, thats the kind of play I remember him making. Run up the court, and take any friggin prayer shot whatsoever with nobody near the basket to rebound the 65% of shots he misses.

Man, I hated watching him do that.

Just what the Celtics need, KG screaming for the ball down low only to be ignored as Antoine shoots a 28 foot brick. Been there, done that. :(

Do u think Tioinne would get away with more than one game of jackin up every bad shot? Before KG smacks him i nthe side of the head? He would change his ways....he is a top passer we all forget.

I think Toine will rarely play with KG and vice versa.

However, know Doc's love for small ball, we might see KG at 5 and Toine at PF so ya never know.

Anyways, KG is down on the box maybe 21% of the time so it won't that often he'll be screaming for a pass and then watching Toine jack up an ill-advised three pointer.

Also, by history, if Toine can feed Pierce and Shaq downlow, I don't see why he can't feed KG.

If he can dribble and pass, he Will be our solid offensive-minded small forward off the bench . He can match up with slow big guys well.

Danny better be talking with AW and Starbaby now to man this 2nd unit.....they can get their shots and give the 1st unit the rest they need and maintain the leads they are given.....add if we are lucky PJ and we are setting pretty. 8-)
