Baloney!!

Baloney to the notion that it's Doc's fault that KG, Pierce & Ray Allen don't play up to championship caliber playoff performances. It's not Doc's fault that they act like shrinking violets. This whole season has been about KG, Pierce & Allen finally getting a chance to shine in the playoffs. Right now they are laying an EGG.

Look Doc is making mistakes and could be coaching better but this is about BIG 3 not taking the bull by the horns and getting the job done. This is their opportunity that they have been crying about. It's time to get the job done or be stuck with the label of losers.

Put up or shut up.

I agree for the most part. The only problems I had with Doc is going with House too long and not putting someone else on Johnson. Other than that, yes, the players need to step up or they'll be golfing much sooner than expected.

I think it is Doc's fault that we didn't win the last game. Leon Powe was getting muscled around the court like an old women. Rather then bring in someone else like Perk or PJ for him Doc kept him in to lose the game.

Thank you!! Were you and I the only 2 Celtic fans that noticed this. Powe was useless in the 2nd half. He played about 14 straight minutes in the 2nd half with 0 points and 0 rebounds.

Every time Powe went up for a rebound, the ball was either flying over his head and he was being out jumped by Smith and Horford.

Meanwhile, Perkins was dominated the glass with 6 rebounds in the 1st quarter alone. Perkins was having his best game of the series. Where was Perkins in the 2nd half? On the **** bench. Why? Go ask **** Doc.

In fairness to Powe, he isn't getting the calls he was getting all those games at the end of the season. They are hacking the ish out of our guys when we get the ball around the rim. KG especially is being hit on the arm almost every single play. Basically the refs have taken away one of Powe's main strengths; the ability to draw fouls. (on both ends)

I hope not, Ray Allen covering Joe Johnson instead of James Posey drove me to the nuthouse too.

^^Not to whine about the refs, but that's true. KG was taking it on the forearm everytime he went up, and no call.

At least the refs were consistent in not giving that to the C's.
