This is a joke right? They've won 3 of 5 right? Shake things up? Please tell me this is a joke!!
TA fan, Right? Have you seen our bench lately? Let me fill you in, They stink!
No....I'm actually one of the biggest anti-Tony voices on the site. But I would take Tony every day of the week over Pruitt given the stakes.
Quoted for truth. I don't think a 3-2 series is the spot to trot out a mediocre point guard who's proven absolutely bupkus in the regular season.
Do you people even read the original post? I said play him as SG. This might send a message to the whole bench, you either play better or get replaced. Maybe it wake them up. But you're right he hasn't proven anything.
I realize the Internet phenomenon that is "the next great Celtic is the one who doesn't get to play."
The harsh reality, though, is that coaches play the best players. Doc Rivers, I'm sure, would love to have a dandy eight or nine man rotation for the playoffs.
The problem is, he doesn't have eight or nine competent players to play.
The guy's not stupid. He's trying to win. He just doesn't have the bullets in his gun. Pruitt, Walker and Mikki Moore don't play because they haven't earned the time. Trust is a prerequiste for any playoff rotation. If these guys haven't earned Doc's trust, they shouldn't play.
