Glenn, always a loser.

Never won as a player, and has no coaching ability.

Ainge and Glenn must go.

It's not Doc's fault, I blame Tom Thibodeau. He's the guy that pulling all the strings defensively, so it was his fault the C's couldn't stop Joe Johnson down the stretch.

FIRE THIBODEAU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WORST PLAYOFF ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH IN CHARGE OF DEFENSE EVER!!!!!

Don't go, Thibodeau...

Thibodeau has to go. I don't put this one on Doc at all, it's Thibodeau's defense, that's what we've heard all year long, and now it's clear Thibodeau just cannot perform in the playoffs. He can't think of a way to make adjustment and stop Joe Johnson, I mean the guy has to be the worst associate head coach in the playoffs. He never advanced out of the first round when he was with Houston and he won't this year either!

FIRE TOM THIBODEAU!

Yes! Fire everybody, from the players to the owners! And set them all on fire on their way out too! Then bring back Chris Wallace and Jim O'Brien! And Antoine! And Rodney Rogers!

Love Doc or hate him. I do agree though that he cost us game 4. Just like in Indiana playoff series, he is slow to react. Instead of recognizing momentum change when it goes from 75-65 to 79-72, he waits until we are losing to make any adjustments.

How can you let Joe Johnson go off like that without making a change? Where was the hard foul on Joe Johnson? The guy is a softie and the team lets him go off without a hard foul.

To me that comes down to coaching.

Doc is bad at adjustments and even marginal coaches (Woodson) are more than capable of pulling the right strings after seeing a Rivers' coached team enough.

Ask Rick Carlisle -- he beat Doc with Detroit after being down 3-1, he beat Doc again with a hobbled Indiana after the Celtics started the series by blowing the Pacers out in Game 1 (sound familiar?).

The Celtics will get through the first round, which will be enough to keep Doc around, but Boston -- a team many of us had pegged to get to the Eastern Conference Finals, at the very least -- is starting to look like a lock for a second round exit.

But don't believe me. Let the games speak for themselves.

Hey coach, remember me? Yea,you are TA. Coach, doesn't defense win games, I can help on Johnson. No Tony, Ray is an all-star, he needs to play. Ok coach. Hey Scal lets book a flight for a vacation next week, where you want to go? WOW!!!!
