Will the Celts rest their starters on Wednesday vs the Wiz?

[Yaroslavs1Fan]

Will they?

[Avalanche]

no word yet, i hope so though.. ray and pierce at least, give Marbury and TA big minutes before the playoffs start

[BEASTMODE]

Word. I'd like to see Marbury out there for at least 30 mins. He hasn't had enough minutes to unleash his true potential, but with meaningless, easy games, I think this is where the bench guys could get hot and dominate.

[Avalanche]

Well it would be great for some of the bench guys to have big games against the team we will likely see in round 1, the result of the game wont really matter if ray and paul arent there, but if someone like steph, baby or eddie could go off for 25+ and get into the heads of the coaches and players of the 6'ers it would make things even easier for our big 3

[BillessuR6]

I expect them to...

[MyInsatiableOne]

I expect them to...

Same. If they don't sit the whole game, they'll play pre-season type minutes...you know, 10 min in the 1st quarter and then sit the rest...

[Avalanche]

I really hope so, no reason for them to be on the floor, and a lot of reason for guys like steph and TA to play extended minutes before the playoffs

[campybatman]

Don't... Arenas is back and should be greeted back to Boston with a lost.

[MyInsatiableOne]

Don't... Arenas is back and should be greeted back to Boston with a lost.

Eh...hard to get worked up over Arenas and the Wiz, they're awful right now...

[Avalanche]

let marbury and arenas have a shootout lol, game is pointless no need playing them just for the sake of it

[campybatman]

So, will this be the starting lineup, you think? For the last two games...

Davis
Walker
Moore
Marbury
House

[Avalanche]

i would think it will only be pierce and ray sitting, with rondo and perk probably playing 20 minutes a game

rondo
marbury
t.allen
davis
perk

[campybatman]

Wait. Didn't Rivers say either Powe and/or Scalabrine could play in these games. I hope Powe plays...

[Avalanche]

yeh would be good to see leon back

[MyInsatiableOne]

yeh would be good to see leon back

Yeah get him back into game-shape heading into the playoffs...

[GWVan]

Th league gets testy if your stars don't play. I remember a late season game in the 80s where DJ and Bird flew in for a road game at the last minute because Stern found out the didn't make a road trip for a meaningless game and threatened fines if they didn't play.

So expect at least token time for everyone.

[Avalanche]

the magic didnt play dwight and shard today, theres no reason for ray and paul to see the court at all

[Frank Lucas]

I've said over the weekend and late last week that I hope the Cs continue to play their starters. But now after giving it much thought I would much rather rest Rondo, Paul, and Ray not because I think they need the rest but I feel were going to need solid production from our bench so that 2nd unit needs to get some in game chemistry going. We all see that Marbury and House has some type of chemistry. Now that Leon is back and ready to go I would like to see Leon, TA, Marbs, Moore and Eddie House. I feel Glen Davis has done enough and he would most likley play most of his minutes with that 1 unit depending on how much KG can go. So for the next 2 games I want to see that 2nd unit get all of the minutes.

[BillessuR6]

I think they should play tonight just enough to get us a win and then rest the whole starting 5 against the wizards...

[MyInsatiableOne]

Yep, I think this is a good idea. Of course the fans get screwed on Fan Appreciation Night...
