PHILADELPHIA - Rasheed Wallace, born and raised in Philadelphia, has returned home in a number of different colors over the years.

But last night the former Blazer and Piston sported a hue that is particularly repulsive in these parts - that of Celtic green. The former Simon Gratz High star drew some hearty boos upon getting T’d up by referee Haywoode Workman in the third quarter.

Which unit is better the starters or the bench?
It's not like the bench players don't have skills,because the last time I checked it has a strong nucleus....The good news from tonights game ws the season debut of Scalabrine.

He doesn't suck,he's the most valuable player on this team albeit a silent one. In practices he's the other teams corner threat,sometimes he practices down low just so the Celtics will have that big body on the team. Yes he's white but he's far from a token anything...If he was a token he wouldn't have lasted 5 years in a Celtic uniform..

Don't ever trash talk Scal! Sports is right, if he wasn't good, he would not continue in Green! Scal is presence and a silent weapon, of sorts. It was great to see him last night! This Celtics team is spot-on, fantastic! Doc must be in heaven. The bench is as impressive as I have seen, in years! Undefeated! It's great! I smell another Championship!

I've been watching the Celtics since the glory days! This is one of the strongest teams yet. I realize that everyone can't play every night so when I don't see Scalabrine I take it that his work was done in practice and that he did a fine job in tuning the starters up,thats been his job since the Big 3 connected. I smell at least a vewry good shot at #18 or as I call it one for the Cowens...

Season is young and the best part of this team is that should an element need a break due to a minor injury,the Celtics have the replacement parts at the ready.With BBD still 3 weeks off at the earliest.

The second team is very impressive and I like that everyone is getting to play while the starters get some rest. S. Williams is doing great, I'm pulling for him like I did last year for Powe.

You know its not often that a team can boast having a former #3 and a former #5 pick in their respective drafts playing for their second unit.
