This guy needs to keep his mouth shut and be more professional---the way Eddie House was...also I think articles like this are irresponsible in the middle of an important series....The Celtics haven't been this far in over 20 years,and we have our own reporters trying to stir things up.

I don't think he's bitching. Personally, I want guys that think they can go out ever time and light the place on fire. Would you rather pay for a guy who's content to just sit on the bench? Sam's confident in his ability and wants to play. That's nothing but good to me.
That being said, his play lately has earned him some time on the bench.

If you read the article, he is not complaining. He is frustrated and acknowledged that this role is new to him. I would rather have a player be honest than to give the party line. We as fans read far too much into this sort of stuff. I am sure the rest of the players already know his feelings, but realize Doc is calling the shots.

Sounds like whining to me. The Globe has a more full quote:
"This is my first year ever that I've sat out in the playoff games, didn't get no playing time for four games," he said. "That was the first time ever in my career. It bothers not just me, but everyone around, like, 'Why are you not playing?' I'm not disguising it, but it's just tough.
"I ain't going to lie, it was tougher because I knew I could play. I competed against these guys with my teammates, with other teams before in the playoffs, and had a lot of success. But me getting here late in the year, who knows?"

Scalabrine complaining about playing time
Scal has also started to complain:
Brian Scalabrine wrote:I just really feel like I could be helping the team if Doc would give me a few minutes. I look at on the floor and I see guys that I've played against before. That's right, I've played against the Pistons. I've probably even made a couple of shots in Detroit over my illustrious career. The Pistons don't really have any one who can match up against me..Who do they have on that team that has my chest size along with my basketball iq? There's very few players like me in the entire league.
