<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> Scot Pollard has been productive when given the chance of late.</p> </p> In addition to his physical defense, he had five rebounds in seven minutes against Miami, four boards in nine minutes against Golden State and made 5-of-6 free throws in 11 minutes against Charlotte.</p> </p> "I thought the last couple of games he has been fantastic," said coach Doc Rivers, who had broader praise for his entire second unit.</p> </p> "We went a stretch in the second quarter (against Charlotte) with all the Big Three sitting down. That's the first time we've done that, and the (spread) never changed." -- <font color="#000000">Boston Herald</font></p> </p> </p> [*]"I'm starting to get there," Pollard said. "I'm still rusty. I'm doing little things like I normally do, and I'm doing some little things that I don't normally do. I'm still learning the timing of the sets. Guys are not used to me and what I do." -- <font color="#000000">Boston Globe</font></div> </p>
"I think he's been fantastic" -Doc Rivers?Really Doc, then why the heck is he constantly on the bench?I know he's still getting back in shape, but Doc you're just bad.
I don't see the problem, aquaitios. I agree he was stupid for going small for nearly the entire second half on Saturday, but I think Pollard has been playing the minutes he should be playing - around 10 a game. The 1 minute against LA makes sense, too, because Perk was playing so well and Bynum was in foul trouble all night - so we weren't desperate to put Pollard in to bang around with him.</p> He's not healthy yet, he's still moving pretty poorly - but I definitely like what I've seen. He has been just what I thought, a serviceable big body to throw in there for 8-10 minutes per game.</p> We'll need him tonight, though.</p>

I don't care, what big man is in there, as long as one is in there. And yes, I do agree about Pollard, he does his time.</p>
Alright, now tonight Pollard should have played a hell of a lot more than 5 minutes. I hated that Doc put KG at center on Big Z at times. Pollard should have played 12-15 minutes tonight, in my opinion.</p>
