Re: Next Year's Probable Starting Lineup? PG: Sebastian TelfairSG: Paul PierceSF: Wally SzcerbiakPF: Al JeffersonC: Theo RatliffIt will definately change if Allen Iverson becomes a Celtic.
Re: Next Year's Probable Starting Lineup? at the beginning of the yearG: Delonte WestSG: Wally SzczerbiakSF: Paul PiercePF: Ryan GomesC: Kendrick Perkins or Theo (interchangable)
Re: Next Year's Probable Starting Lineup? If the season started today, it would be the same as last year: C: Kendrick Perkins PF: Ryan Gomes SF: Wally Szczerbiak SG: Paul Pierce PG: Delonte West But I wouldn't be suprised to see Telfair and/or Rondo start a fair share of games either. Theo could start sometimes, but I don't see it very likely. But either way, we have an interior defensive force starting and off the bench, so I'm happy. Maybe if Big Al proves something he could earn the starting job later on, who knows.
Re: Next Year's Probable Starting Lineup? PG-TelfairSG-Paul PierceSF-Wally SczceribiakPF-Al JeffersonC-Kendrick PerkinsYou need alot of help downlow..
Re: Next Year's Probable Starting Lineup? haha, that's typical of someone hwo never watches the Celtics. we don't need "alot" of help down low. We would need just one more post that can hold his own inside. Al is a great low post scorer, Ryan Gomes is beastly, Perk is a great rebounder and shotblocker, theo is a good defender when healthy.
Re: Next Year's Probable Starting Lineup? Al Jefferson averaged 7 ppg. Sorry, but I dont know if he is "great" downlow. Also, Ryan Gomes isnt really a back to the basket post-up guy, and he scores outside just as much as he scores inside. And Kendrick Perkins doesnt bring anything to the table offensively.And the defense of Al and Perk is not good. Teams will take advantage of that when they play you.

He was injured and saw limited minutes. Stop talking about stuff you don't know and you won't get bashed as much.
Re: Next Year's Probable Starting Lineup? :no3: stop looking at just the boxscore and just assuming he's not good.and did i ever say anything about perk being good offensively? No. I said he was a good rebounder and shotblocker. We don't need his offense.And Gomes can play with his back to the basket. And anyways, if he finishes at the rim alot, he plays down low. Haven't you ever heard that guards' penetration can be a substitute for good inside players.
Re: Next Year's Probable Starting Lineup? <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Also, Ryan Gomes isnt really a back to the basket post-up guy, and he scores outside just as much as he scores inside.</div>Whoaaaa, actually watch the Celtics before you make a comment like that. Gomes doesn't even score outside that much. He took a total of nine three pointers last season. He's very quick underneath and has a textbook, consistent way of scoring underneath. Also he averaged 12 points and 7 rebounds in the last three months of last season, games where he was a starter. It's a role he is used to and I think he will have a great year next year as the starting power forward. If I hear one more he's too undersized comment I'm gonna freak out. If he's so undersized how come he dropped 29 and 11 against Chris Webber. Please, watch Gomes before you judge him.
Re: Next Year's Probable Starting Lineup? LOL dont want to get the Celtic fans angry, but look. Your PF and C situation is a major weakness. And teams with good big men will probably take advantage of you there. I understand Al has good post moves, but come on. He only averages 7 ppg. That isnt going to make a huge difference. And I dont like to think of Gomes as a full-time post player. He can post up, but he doesnt do it as often as you think.And like I said before, there are pretty big defensive problems there, so teams should take advantage of you down low..
Re: Next Year's Probable Starting Lineup? Perkins and Ratliff is defensive in the post, your so ignorant. I would worry more about thar Raptors post D than the C's.
Re: Next Year's Probable Starting Lineup? Perkins isnt really a good defender..I'm just saying man. I already know that the Raps have a sh*tty defense..But atleast we have offense in the post.
Re: Next Year's Probable Starting Lineup? I would definately say that AL J, Perk, and Ratliff all have some question marks, but I think Gomes is the one guy I will count on to be solid in our frontcourt rotation. Perk is coming off shoulder surgery so I don't know how reliable he will be this year. Ratliff was in Portland over the last few years so you really can't judge what he's done recently...as goes with anyone who's been in Portland recently. Al J also has to overcome those bad ankles and show that he can stay in NBA shape. Yes we do have some question marks, but I think Gomes will be fine. His numbers as a starter were solid for a rookie, Doc was an idiot for not starting him all season long. He could have been an all rookie first team and possible ROY candidate if he started more than 20 games.
Re: Next Year's Probable Starting Lineup? Guys, don't waste your time on CB4. In the last 2-3 days he's said the following: 1. Rondo is like Delonte.. wtf? 2. Gomes scores as much inside as outside.. again, wtf? 3. Al AND PERK aren't good on defense. Perk is a beast on defense dude. He said something else too. EDIT: He said Gerald Green didn't have any range. CB4 don't even talk about the Celtics. Watch more than the 4 times per year we play the Raptors, if you even watch that.
Re: Next Year's Probable Starting Lineup? Perk gets rebounds but that doesnt make him a good defender. I'd say he is an average defender at best, but then again I havnt seen him that much..And yeah, I do say some stupid things from time to time, but I'm aloud to make mistakes :happy0144:
Re: Next Year's Probable Starting Lineup? <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (CB4AllStar @ Jul 13 2006, 11:49 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>but then again I havnt seen him that much..</div> EXACTLY! And Perk is a shot blocker as well, and holds his own defensively against pretty much anybody in the post. I can't believe you said he wasn't a good defender. In all seriousness, if Perk wasn't a good defender he would be in the D-League. But his toughness and physical presence is very valuable to this team. And you said "i'm allowed to make mistakes".. I agree. But you aren't making a mistake.. you are reading Celtics box scores and saying "he sucks" or whatnot. I could read a Raptors box score and think Mike James was an All-Star and that Jose Calderon sucks. But in reality, Mike James is solid, but no All-Star.. and Calderon is nifty with the basketball and a real good passer. CB4 - watch the GAMES.. not ESPN GameCast.
Re: Next Year's Probable Starting Lineup? Al Jefferson has some great post moves, but he is not good defense-wise.

I just said that he wasnt a presence defensively. I saw plenty of Raptor vs. Celtic games and he didnt really do anything to stop Bosh at all. I'm not going to argue with you here, because your the Celtics expert..I do watch NBA games, not all of them are Celtic games where I get to see alot of Perkins though. Go easy on me man. And btw I dont even watch sports highlights in the morning. They dont show other basketball games besides the Raptors and maybe Suns and Heat anyway...

Already one of the better shotblockers in the league. He's had 5+ blocks in five different games this year. You'rre are so retarded. Watch a freaking Celtics game!!!
Re: Next Year's Probable Starting Lineup? Ok sorry. My mistake. You dont have to call me a retard. Im obviously not a Celtic fan..
