Assorted Thoughts on Celtics-Bulls

  • Why Glen Davis gets 40 minutes is beyond me. 18 points on 15 shots and only 3 rebounds. Compare this to Leon Powe, who netted 8 on 5 shots and 8 rebounds with only 2 fewer shots at the line. Davis is terrible on rotations, and even though he's lost weight, he still plays under the basket and is overwhelmed by both Brad Miller-types and Tyrus Thomas.
  • I don't buy the whole "Leon is our bench scorer" bit, mostly because Davis has free reign to chuck up as many shots as he wants when he is on the court. Powe gets usage during one stretch every game, and then gets buried by Rivers. This is not Davis getting his due. This is not letting Powe recover from his injury. This is straight up Rivers, mismanaging the rotation.
  • Rajon Rondo and Derrick Rose are awesome. I am so excited to watch the rest of the series.
  • Speaking of Brad Miller, what's up, dude? The Bulls would have crushed the Celtics if his shot was on.
  • Ray Allen's ankles need rest. His shot is flat, and he can't keep playing 39 minutes a game.
  • Salmons' beard is teleology.
