The Big Ticket will be making his second game appearance after missing a month of action. The Celts are in a bac2bac after winning a close one against the Spurs.

Celtics 100 Grizzlies 89

Considering how he played in the last game, he took advantage of his opportunities and it showed. He may get some time tonight. Just depends on how things will play out.

I expect the Grizz to pull this one out in a close one. Celts may be off their game.

I don't know. I admit the Celts have been in a yo-yo effect in the last couple of weeks with KG being out. Now that he's back, the Celts may draw energy off his return to motivate them to continue their quest keep their #1 spot for the playoffs and to the finals.

yeah the grizz are getting a tough beating in this game. Hope Hamed gets some playing time in the game as well. Hakim is doing well and Im satisfied with his performance so far and hope he gets more points so we at least lose by 10 points.

It was only a matter of time before the Celts enforce their will on the Grizz in the second half. Glen Davis put on that LSU charm and scored 24pts and 5rebs. Ray Allen got 20pts and 6dimes for the Celts. Hakim Warrick lead the team with 20pts and 6rebs. The best game he's played in a while. Rudy Gay follows him with 15pts, 5rebs and 3dimes in the obvious loss. The Grizz shot 39% from the field in this game and the passing game is still crap as usual.

I was at the game. Mayo is a keeper. Sure, some rookie stuff, but he appears to have a pretty good court sense. Rudy Gay is smooth on offence, but he didn't even try for many rebounds even though he was close enough to try. Geez, you all have some big men on your team; get someone to make them tougher, and you may have something there.

As in Blake Griffin or Dejuan Blair tough? You can't make someone something they're not. Management needs to bring in a new face from the outside and whoever it is I hope they aren't a finesse player.

Give me Griffin, Hill, or Blair, and also find a way to get Terrence Williams and they're on the right track.

With Terrance Williams, I'm not too sold on him. Outside of his athleticism and slashing ability, he's missing more like better dribble moves and his shooting mechanics is really suspect at best.

Defensively, he is top of the line though- tough as nails. I think that would be the point of the selection. I believe he is an upgrade over Ross at the very least.

Post #13 » by **SD2042** » Tue Mar 24, 2009 5:47 am

I can agree that defensively he'll be an upgrade over Ross. Considering his versitility, athleticism, and his ability as a defender, Williams kinda reminds me of DMiles pre injury yrs.

Darius Miles and defense?
Williams is more of a wing that can't shoot though.

Post #15 » by **SD2042** » Wed Mar 25, 2009 9:22 pm

I compare Williams to DMiles on the athleticism level. I didn't meant from the defensive standpoint. And Williams, like DMiles, isn't known to be a good shooter as well so good call on that.
