Woow...Doc learned lesson from LAL game

Going into last 6 minutes Doc played with House(no Rondo) and Powe(no Big baby). When Ray fouled out Rono replaced him, but I belive that if ray would not fouled out Rondo would not be in the game in last 6 minutes.

And we actually won game becouse of that..House stole one ball and got 2 pt...than hitting 3pt...also Powe when they doubled team Garnet scored 2 times...

Good job Doc...now I wait to see the moment when he will realize that the second unit of House/T.Allen/Pierce does not work out and that Pruitt/House/Pierce or T.Allen is the only solution.

Lets hope he continues to use Powe who won't settle for jumpers like baby.

I'm SOOOO Glad to hear about this! I posted pretty much the same thing in another topic.

I just hope Doc keeps using this line up late in important games.

I still think they need a big man who can knock down a 10-15 jumper

As long as House is in there in the final minutes instead of Rondo I will be happy. I know it wont happen a lot of times, but maybe...

Doc needs to realize that in close games when the tempo of game is slowed down and when every play counts Pierce should have the ball in his hands with House and Allen on the wings. We have at least 4 possibilities here:
- Pierce from midrange,
- Pierce to the hop,
- Pierce passing from double team to House or Allen,
- Pierce passing to big man.

Playing that way we are so hard to beat in the last 5 minutes. When Rondo is in and Pierce has the ball Rondo is useless because he will not shot from mid range, than we add Perk to that and we play 3 on 5 on offense.

As Big Baby...Im ok with him in in close games...his mid range jumper improved a lot from last year and if he can hit it, he is ok...he just had a bad game against LAL.
