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.

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.

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.
