I was happy too during those times, as the box score showed, Moiso went for
boards instead of shots, which is a good sign, for a PF.

I think Moiso's attitude has got to do with him not getting even garbage
time/game. I don't think his (non) talent/potential is getting in the way. If
anybody can sneak in at Celtics' training facilities and write a report, we will
know the truth. The fact that Blount and Palacio improved during OB's time,
showed that OB can develop/coach players, which can't be said of RP of his time
here (many players digress under him)

I think OB playing Herren and Griffin more during these meaningless games showed
he is giving both the chance to stake their claim to be back. I really hope
Griffin will be back. But I think Herren will not be resigned. ( I think he will
need laser to remove the celtic tattoo on his arm)
