Donnie Marshall talked about this on Post-Game Live.  Normally Doc is great with his rotations but idk what he was thinking tonight.

He should have never left Ryan Hollins in the 4th as long as he did and should have put Pietrus in instead of Daniels.

I think Doc is anything but great with the rotations.  tonight was just another example of it.

I think Doc is usually great with his rotations.  Definitely not tonight though.

Enough Hollins altogether.

The offense already has enough problems with teams playing off Rondo. Now them playing off Hollins and Rondo? Jeez. 3 on 5.

Hollins stats for the series:
G6: 18 min, 1-3, 2 pts, 2 rebs, -4
G5: 19 min, 2-4, 5 pts, 4 rebs, +6
G4: 12 min, 0-4, 0 pts, 4 rebs, -5
G3: 4 min, 0-0, 0 pts, 0 rebs, -1
G2: 6 min, 0-1, 0 pts, 2 rebs, +5
G1: DNP-CD
Total: 59 min, 3-12, 7 pts, 10 rebs, +1

He got burned on defense numerous times and for every good thing he does out there he does 10 bad things.

Steimsma is a much better player. Hell Sean Williams is 10 times the player too. There is little reason for him to play.

Agree......think about it. In the second half of the season Doc went with an eight man rotation. The shorter the rotation the less chance of screwing it up. He cannot manage multiple rotations.

Doc is the head coach for a reason. He would have not made those rotations unless he truely felt that they were in the best interest of the team.

While I dont agree with his rotations and yes they were questionable to say the least, he is the one paid the big bucks to make the tough decisions.

Overall, In Doc We Trust

I think Doc is a top 2 coach in the league with Popovich.  Still doesn't mean we cannot criticize moves he makes.

Doc literally almost lost the game by leaving Hollins on the floor for too long and putting Marquis in to foul before the inbounds pass only to be bailed out by the ref.

Why was Marquis on the floor at the end??? Why didn't Bradley get more minutes in the second half???

I have said this several times. It's not Doc.....it's not Pierce......The man that turned the Celtics around is KG. He is leader on and off the floor.

Oh Doc Rivers, same guy who saved the season by convincing KG to play the 5 and inserting AB at the 2 and talking ray into come off the bench. Man what a terrible head coach, has no idea on where to play his own guys, how can I forget.

Flip you still with the team? We need a head coach, C's fans are calling for Doc's head.

No... Not one person on hear suggested Doc get fired.  Doc is a great headcoach but every once in while even a great coach can make mistakes.

I thought Hollins gave them some energy tonight. He's not in there to impress you message board posters with his box score.

Pietrus has been TRASH all series long, I have no problem with him not playing. And All the steamer does is foul.

Again, trust the guy who is the coach. He knows more than you. Period.

Talk about twisting words.

I'm done with this arguing now that you are just making things up.

I might be one of the biggest Doc supporters on this site.

Tonight, Doc coached a horrible game. His decisions were just terrible.
