Marchmont should play guard.

 The only problem is his skates would wreck the parquet. 

Bring in Delonte West……..

Not that I wanted Barbosa to get hurt; but he seemed to be the most inconsistent Celtic lately.  He did offer some fire once in a while but overall I was not happy with him.  The Celtics are very thin at the one and two spots now.  I actually think we are OK at the 4 and 5 with Garnet, Bass, Collins and Wilcox.  Green will get more time and play with Pierce at the two.  With Lee, Terry, and Bradley is all you need - these nine players can get them deep into the playoffs, but if one more player gets hurt then we are screwed.  Danny needs to bring in another guard and see what Melo can do one of these nights in a pressure situation.

Is Cousy available?

…To me, at that moment, it looked like a fully torn miniscus…he stopped, his knee didn’t appear to be twisted, no contact…but more than likely it’s an ACL or MCL or AHL, CBA, or PGA injury….

I don’t know what you are talking about, the most inconsistent guard and player without a position is clearly Bradley.  He balked at shooting a couple of threes in the second half, which he should.  He is clearly the only guard on the club that can not break down a defense in any manner other than a TO.  Does that mean I want him traded? Nope he does have some good D skills.  But, as I wrote yesterday the game went into overtime because he was blown by a couple of times and didn’t force his man baseline.  Think about it, the Celtics had 2 players that could break down a defense offensively Barbosa and Pierce (Green at times)  Most of us said that the C’s couldn’t sustain another injury for 2 reasons.  Can’t trade the player and can’t use the player so your concept of losing Barbosa is terrible  and close minded. 

Already were screwed only now we’re further screwed

Only if you think this is 1950

Too bad….here’s hoping the best for Barbosa. He has been a solid player and had become more of a factor. Likewise, his personality seemed infectious on that team.
 

Time to suit up Danny.

Good hahahaha old team wasn’t going anywhere hope punk garnet is next!!

remember when the celtics had guards

0-1 without barbosa…

bardley is not the most inconsistent. he got blown by ay the end because he rolled his ankle. bradley is the best on ball defender in the nba. give me one better. you cant, because you will be wrong

I hear Jordan can play and contribute at 50.

“Ah Hello? Delonte?  It’s Danny – How are you on your Meds?”

“Ah hello Delonte…. it’s Danny, how are you on your meds?”

Actually we all hope you sit on a steak knife….let’s see, Yanks? Done. GMEN? I just saw Eli through another pick. KNicks? BWaaaahahahaha….right.

What about Micah Downs or Dionte Christmas.

Hang in there guys, let this one go and move on. You won alot of games some people didn’t think you would, so pick yourselves up and fight on! GO CELTICS!!!!

we have three capable guards, even though we have lost another guard, we really need a 5

What are you talking about?  Overall Bradley is a good defender; so he had one bad game.  And I said that Barbosa can add spark to the offense……but he is inconsistent when he drives to the basket and is a little wild at times.  His missed shots lead to a lot of fast breaks for the other team as well. Your right that we can’t trade him, and that is a pity.

Now we have a clear nine-man rotation, so let’s see what happens.  Bradley’s great on defense most of the time, but he can’t shoot consistently.  His shot looks good, though, and you have to remember how much time he missed.  He couldn’t practice shooting with a rehabbing shoulder, I wouldn’t think.  I wish Doc would give Jeff Green more minutes.  He and Bradley should be getting the most minutes, but Doc gets a little stuck in his ways.

Bring Allen Iverson!!!!!

missed a lot of shots. He would throw up a lot of wild lay ups, especially in that miami heat game. Not a huge loss. Sad for him, but not going to kill the C’s

TMZ reports seeing the Red Sox medical staff leaving the TD Garden!

How about Doc as player coach?

 u have to be kiddin. this guy is a disaster in the making for any team that brings him in

Here’s one from out of left field: Stephan Marbury…….

Celts are quickly building one of the strongest Disabled List Teams this season!

Falling like flies. NE teams snake bit with injuries. Red Sox it makes no difference.

It’s a real shame. I enjoyed watching Barbosa and his energy on the court. If anything, this will force Ainge to make some upcoming deals.

Barbosa’s injury does nothing to this team’s chances, because LB was not going to be a difference maker. Now Doc has a nine-man rotation.  Give Bradley and Lee (young guys) plenty of minutes.  Ainge should add a D-Leaguer guard for practice purposes, maybe somebody who could grow and contribute in games next year. 

This is too bad.  He, since Rondo’s injury had gotten more consistent minutes in each game I think except one, which was likely due to match ups, and he was averaging about 13 points per game.  Oh well.  See my earlier ACL posts on Rondo…..unfortunately for Barbosa he’s without a contract and at his age may not get another even though he will recover. 

I liked him and thought he was contributing well … a nice change of pace.   Whatever chance they had is now surely further diminished. 

 Nope! I’m not buying it. 3 serious/major injuries (sully,rondo, now
barbosa) in less then a MONTHS time…? Come on man, somethings going
on up there in those Celtic corporate offices….Maybe they dont want
certain guys on the floor maybe there trying to trade guys. But
something fishy is going on up there, its no way all these FANTASY
injuries are happening one after the other. Celtics players are dropping
like flies. Something just doesn’t add up, do you guys feel the same
way ….

Check that …..Joseph wasn’t waived….I guess he got traded.  Perhaps there is someone else out ther that can fill ou the roster and play in practice as I agree with the earlier post that you can get by with Lee Bradley and Terry.  Anymore and yes definetly screwed.

Thats right Brandon!  You are spot on.  Oh…and the Holacaust and 911 didn’t happen.  What a dope.

ACL = Awful Celtics Luck

If you’re implying that these ACL tears actually didn’t happen or that Sullinger and Rondo didn’t actually have surgery, you’re in denial of the fact that the C’s have just been extremely unfortunate with these injuries.  We all know with a fully healthy squad, they’re capable of a championship run, or at least another deep run in the playoffs.  It’s just a shame and upsetting as well.

KG Called it

Yeah the ACL tears didn’t happen. Oh and guess what, the NBA has admitted to rigging the eastern conference finals the last two years against the Celtics as well. Oh and the Red Sox went undefeated last year

Dear Brandon Murchisonedisonsum, you didn’t get the memo.  You can’t trade the inured players.  Which was the depth of the Celtics.  Now with that depth gone they would have to trade likes of a Bass or Green and a draft pick or two to get a slob.  You have to trade contracts.  Nobody is going to take Green – so put your other team GM hat on.  Who would you want from the Celtics?  Now stop the wake and bake and get on with it!

Delonte West will be walking through that door.  He knows the system and can play the 1 or 2.  They need someone who can play 10-15 minutes.

DW is a headcase.  Celtics really tried to support him last time he was here.  He is injury prone also.
