Celtics (0-1) at Heat (1-0) 12/27

[snively]

Norris Cole is pretty good for 28 in the draft

Yeah, he's fast.  Reminds me of Lawson.

[Drucci]

What disappoints me the most is that Doc is (once again) not sticking up to his minutes management plan. Why are the starters still playing? We have a back to back tomorrow. Now is the time to prepare for it and give the rookies a chance.

Oh my god, you know what I just realized?

Ray Allen has become Eddie House.

I hadn't thought of it like that but that's sadly closer to being true than I'd like.  Ray is still the superior player but his ballhandling/turnovers and reduced offensive repertoire are towards House-like style of play.

Appreciate the TNT guys writing our obituary though we're only down eleven...

Ths is classic doc rivers..hiding under the bench saying.."fix it kg"   i got no ideas....ever wonder if young guys could cover wade or lebron...well, of course they could get there quicker, jump faster, learn and recover faster..this is what i hate about doc....he can draw up a play...but he will never play or try anything new.....sign new people....why....just pay 7 guys...that is all doc will play anyway....!

Have you noticed how 10 players have checked into the game tonight?

for the riual minute..? oh look your guy MD is back in.yay...turnover kid....the usual 6 is all we get...those guys were in for what 3 minutes....wow.

4 bench players played 8 minutes in the first half, that isn't real playing time?

If you're going to by hyperbolic don't get upset when it turns out you are flat out wrong.

you are just watchng your own game in your own world

Indeed I am watching the game where I recognize that Doc has played a 9 man rotation, not a 7 man rotation like you claimed. A nine man rotation has always been what he has done, and it is also what the majority of the NBA does. (The Heat for example have also had 9 men in for regular minutes)

As for all of the personal attacks, cut it out or we'll have to handle it formally.

Scary thought, when you think of Eddies place in the rotation, compared to Ray's.

agree 100 percent. the reason bradley stinks is because he didn't get any run last year....looks like this will be the same with jjj and moore

I agree on the minutes issue but C's are still close enough to have a shot at this--amazingly enough.

[Fafnir]

So we should adjust our normal rotations whenever we're down by 11ish?

[Chief]

Finally, Doc changes.

[ballin]

So no PP and terrible refs, and we're only down by 11? This game could almost actually be encouraging

[Green Hell]

Kerr, SHUT UP

[YouGotRondo d]

Time for us to go on a run.

Celts are still hungry, Miami is getting full of themselves.

[Kiorrik]

Dooling bringing the shot today.
