"The tough part about our practices is that Rondo guards Eddie," he noted. "It's turning out now, maybe for the better, that Marquis handles the ball about 90 percent of the time because Eddie doesn't want to have to bring it up against Rondo. That's smart on his part. But in the games, when he's not facing a Rondo who's going to pick him up full court, we figure it will be about 70/30 with Marquis handling it 70 percent of the time and Eddie 30 percent."

I know my co-host Jon Duke is wincing as he reads this article, because he thinks it's all much ado about nothing.  I happen to agree with him, but it might be one of the most closely watched themes to come out of the preseason and we've certainly gotten the most questions from our listeners about it.  Cheers to Scott for looking into this further for a Sunday feature.  Here's the players's take on the situation:

House said he isn't worried about percentages.

"It doesn't even matter," he shrugged. "It's whoever gets the rebound. We just don't want to slow down our offense. If someone has to come back for the ball all the time, it's slowing down what we want to do. We want to get the ball and go."

"It's just kind of the way it works out," Daniels agreed. "If I can get in there and get the rebound with my size, he can be running with his speed, and it's just going to open things up.

"With me handling the ball, it gets him off the ball and gets his rhythm going. I can take a lot of pressure off him by getting him in his sweet spots. Eddie can shoot the ball from anywhere the minute he steps in the gym anyway."

Now, that's a lot of quotes from Scott's article,but you need to read the whole thing and then check in here.  Does hearing from the Coach and players change your mind?
