Doc Schottenheimer

Marty Schottenheimer's biggest fault was that in the playoffs he always changed up from what worked for him in the regualr season. I realize there are adjustments needed for playoff basketball. But wtf is Doc doing? On any given night, I can't tell if Powe or Big Baby is going to play. I can't tell if House or Cassell is going to get minutes. I guess it all depends on what the voices in Doc's head tell him to do that particular night. Should he throw out a lineup of Powe, Baby, House, Cassell, and PJ Brown? Sure they've never played together before and it makes zero sense on paper, but if the voices say to do it, then go right ahead.

Grady Little is more fitting imo

That's how coaches choke. The pressure gets to them and they don't have the balls to trust what got them there. That's why some coaches never win, no matter what players they have.

Oh. Didn't you hear? Coaching has nothing to do with how we're playing. It's one player's fault.

Although, that one player did have a really good game, and we still lost. Go figure.

In the reg season, if the bigs didnt' come to play, the bench came in and usually got things going.

Doc hasn't given the bench the keys in the playoffs. Instead, he's relied on Sammy, PJ and PoZ to be the bench.

Not enough energy there.

Doc doesn't have the guts to win. :rofl:

It's not funny. It's quite sad...

Anyone who thinks the Celtics will lose because of Doc Rivers is clueless. I'm sorry but you really are clueless.

If the Celtics lose it will be because KG, Pierce & Ray Allen don't step up and earn their money and go 11-38 (29%) like they did in Game 4.

The series is tied 2-2. The real question is who will step up (Rondo, Perk, KG, Allen & Pierce) or (Billups, Hamilton, Wallace, McDyess & Prince).

The stars are going to decide this series not the coaches. The coaches are just there for the blame.

This series is not about Powe, Cassell, House, Davis, Brown etc. it's about if KG, Ray Allen & Pierce want it bad enough.

I disagree. I think that the big three want it bad enough.

Not if they turn the ball over and shoot 29% like they did in Game 4.

I wish that people would drop this big three thing seeing they in no way at this point can even compare to the originals. Ray Allen has played like a part of a little three and should be held accountable if we don't win this series.
