When you play your good reserves (Felton, Wes, Bass and Mo) less than 20 minutes while playing Austin and Crawford 30+, you can't expect any good result.
Add that to grandpa Pierce in and Blake out. I was surprised the MVP Kilpatrick didn't score 100 points.

doc clearly has no understanding that playing paul pierce and crawford on the court together is the recipe for an atrocious defense.

Doc gets enough hate, but I just couldn't overlook this gem. This was from back in 2013 when Doc first joined:

, then he didn't do it for three seasons
Asked if the bench will once again be a five-man swap, much like a hockey line change, or piecing in a few players with starters, Rivers said, most likely the latter.
“I rarely play all five guys together,” Rivers said. “I do it in preseason because I’m trying to build that group. To be honest, if we have a lead it would be nice to come on and keep that lead, a big lead. My guess right now, at least with this team right now, there will probably always be a starter or two on the floor with the second unit. But we’ll see.”
