Who will emerge as the top reserve for the Celtics in the playoffs?

Brandon: I took the liberty of making your question into a poll question (below). The board will tally the responses, and people are still able to give the reasons for their choices. I hope you don't mind the intrusion.

Tony Allen?
Marquis Daniels?
Glen Davis?
Michael Finley?
Nate Robinson?
Brian Scalabrine?
Rasheed Wallace?
Sheldon Williams?

I think Nate Robinson is gonna be the go-to-guy for us on the bench. He can flat out score the ball.

Sheed can be right there with him too, if he decides to post up more.

Oh no, I don't mind at all. I was actually wondering if I could make it into a poll.

Thank You!

Brandon,

I tweaked it a little. It was set to run for something like 0.3 days and that time was up. I was wondering why it wouldn't allow for any more voting, so I went into it to see.

I set it to never have an end date.

I picked Sheed because his length will be needed when we play the better teams. As long as Perk starts, Sheed should play mostly under two scenarios:

1. Against the other teams starters when our starters are resting. The rosters will be shortened, so the other teams will play their starters longer minutes, but they won't be as rested when Sheed plays.

2. Against the other teams backups.

Interesting tidbit about Sheed having the worst dropoff in shooting in the entire league from first half to second half:

Wallace’s dropoff, from 47.8 percent in the first half to 33 percent in the second half, is by far the largest of any player in the league who has attempted at least 200 shots in each half this season. Yet, for some reason, he’s attempted more shots in the second half (294) than he has in the first (278).

What the heck happened with Marquis??? He was playing so well for a while, then just disappeared! I am so disappointed, I thought he was going to be a
real plus on this team.

i'm with you, Rosie. earlier he looked like a steal, and a real find.

sometimes he still shows that he can drive and score easily in the "painted area" (a la Hubie), but we've seen too little of that lately.

i too wonder what's happened to him. i hope he shows up again soon - we need him.

i voted for Nate, myself. despite his size, he can really influence a game with his shot and distribution - and we will need him.
