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

im gonna hold my complaints about doc keeping the starters in until the start of the 4th.

i would think if you start pulling guys too early it can kill moral

[celticinorlando]

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

meh...miami miami will keep this at an 11-15 point lead the rest of the way...no need for the starters to tread water and lose tomorrow night's game also tonight

[CelticSooner]

Miami has a big problem giving up leads. They start looking bored.

[33_Larry Legend_33]

At least Doc got his tech in with 27.7 before his "no 4th quarter tech" rule...

[mqtcelticsfan]

Celtics down 8. Huh.

Also, I hate refs.

[slamtheking]

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.

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

not so sure about that -- I think Bradley would stink regardless of how much run he could have got last year

[CoachBo]

Time to get run, Doc.

[vinnie]

Nice move by doc with the zone

[CelticSooner]

A zone defense giving Miami problems? I like that Doc is trying different things so early in the season.

[celticinorlando]

at times I really think the nba is fixed. refs can single handed win games for teams

I don't think you can tell a team of competitive athletes that you're giving up with 15 minutes to play when its only 10 or so points.

[33_Larry Legend_33]

So, I guess we should give up on tonight's game huh?

[TheBig5]

Why can Haslem sit there talking, while no one else on the Celtics can?

I agree, 100%.

You can only do so much to teach basketball IQ and Bradley doesn't have it.

[Chief]

2/3 zone might be how we beat these guys.
