I've never seen a player play less than Steamer tonight. I guarantee you won't see him again unless it's garbage time.

Playing about as well as they can and still down 7.

Why is the corpse of JO still in the game?

Same reason KG is...a lack of options

[syfy9]

Oh my goodness...Kevin Garnett was 5 feet away from the hoop and he decided to dribble away for a contested fade away instead of going strong to the rim...

[Meadowlark_Scal]

Watching Kevin Durant reminds me so much of Reggie Lewis... So many similarities...makes me sad.

TP for the momory of Reggie...!

[Tgro]

Just passing through during commercial.

We're still struggling but I'm liking the effort and the passing!

Optimistic.

Go Celtics!!!!

When you have a GREAT team, and you achieve great things is not exactly coaching......When you have a team of older talent, mixed with youth, and you can turn it into a winner,,,THAT is coaching, strategy..basketball s like a chess match..you have to put your pieces in the right place at the right time.

I agree that coaching a mixed bag calls for more in-game strategy. Of course, that isn't the only important aspect of coaching.

Red Auerbach, Pat Riley, Phil Jackson account for about 25 championships.  They coached great teams with great talent, but by most accounts were great coaches.

now i could be wrong..but i think doc is a choker..he puts a guy in for 1 minute...then he chokes on the idea, and puts the starting 5 back in right away....."fix it for me willya!"....

Stiemer had a good start, but I think we're starting to see why he got cut by other teams.

Welcome to the last 2-3 years of KG.

I've seen a guy who lost his confidence in the Doc Rivers rookie dog house. One mistake in your 2 minute court run and you are done!!!

   This is what I see for what it's worth.

 The Celtics aren't getting out worked they are getting beaten by better athletes and it is happening almost every night.  I don't see this as a funk I see it as we are starting four guys who are just too old to compete with these younger players.  We could do it with 2 of them, maybe even 3 but 4 is too much to over come.

  I know nobody wants to hear it but that is the way I see it.  It is kind of sad.
