There is no reason for doc rivers to say that guys are tired....................

[krook]

beacuse white randolph green williams can play

[crimson_stallion]

Yeah, but outside of Green those guys aren't winning us games.

does jason terry brandon bass chris wilcox wins us a game?
randolph would somehow give us 8 or 9 rebounds a game which isn't bad, or maybe 10+ if given the minutes, white maybe can rebounds as bass, 4 or 6 or 5 below, and what we need from him is he can clogged the middle using his body,
if rondo was here randolph and white can score a lot, but the role for them as for now is rebounds and box out, which is to me randolph and white can do

[Smutzy#9]

people saying we are going to win more games playing white and randolph have another thing coming. They dont know the rotations so teams are gonna score on them with more ease than they would while others are on the court.

We do have 2 of our starters out with season ending injuries. It does hurt.

so are you saying chris wilcox and brandon bass on the court, opponents cannot score?
randolph is far more useful than bass, look bass stuck at 6 rebounds 9 point for long, wilcox knows the rotation? 6 minutes 1 rebounds, and to bass he is really lost to docs rotation, he does not have any option but to look for opening and hit jumpers, he can't even clogged the middle which is haslem lebron or battier is enough to beat him

[Celtics4ever]

tired = old.

It's a nice way of him complaining about the age of the team I would guess.

[pearljammer10]

I could play too but its not in the best interest of the team.

as a fan i can see that pierce and kg is old, but they still got something left to compete and contribute to this team, i want them both and terry fresh come playoffs
if you are the coach and knows that kg and pierce and terry are tired would you still played them?
celtics run out of gas in 3rd quarter, kg played all 1 to 4 quarters, wilcox only got 6 minutes
look at greg popavich doing to tim duncan
this is about trusting your bench players, doc rivers went to china and acquired t-will and said in the interview t-will got it, but why don't we see him even 1 minute on the court
yes we missed sully but when sully sucks he only gets 6 or 7 rebounds which i think randolph can do, i don't care if our PF don't score as long as he can rebounds and clogged the middle or at least forced his body to block attacking opponents like jason collins is doing
in this case its either danny ainge failed a signing of a big man or not, or its doc rivers fault at all

Tells how good those players that are not playing really are.




How many guys has Doc not played in the past that went to another team and became a solid contributor on a winning club?

Against the New Orleans hornets, White and Randolph need to play, and yes, we should still win the game.  And that does fall on Doc.  He has to trust his bench in games like these.  You might lose, but you are growing the team and getting rest for your vets.  Plus, these younger guys will play with a little more fire in a game against the lower end teams then our vets likely do.  To not play them and still lose, is completely absurd.

yes, i agree with this, and ROBIN LOPEZ and ANTHONY DAVIS both playing together, KG ON LOPEZ where is BASS, brandon bass on DAVIS? there's something wrong here, if kg goes on the number 1 pick davis, will bass guard robin lopez? where does bass go?

[ImShakHeIsShaq]

If our guys were tired after a days rest that's not sounding great for the playoffs... we will have big and probably tough grinding games every other day!!!  This only means Doc plays the old guys too much and that's not good... Kg didn't play b/c of injury the Mia game but played 2 days later? Why? It was the hornets/pelicans... I don't see it being worth it (even more so that we lost). You can't leave it up to PP, KG, and Jet to ask for/agree to nights off, they won't (usually). It feels like he's running a depleted team to the max (especially with the D we play) before the big games arrive. I don't want us to be exhausted again this season, start to give others a shot doc, it's not like we are trying for optimum position... we have lost 4/6 games of late! I'm not clamoring for the scrubs to play bc I think they could be/are good, it's because we are running the playoff guys into the ground!!!

[gpap]

Nope. That tells me either our team is filled with a bunch of old farts OR Doc Rivers is the WRONG man for the job and not motivating his team.

OR, maybe all of the above.

Besides Nate, who else?

He averaged 15 minutes a game his 1st season and 17 minutes a game his 2nd season with the Celtics.


That looks like plenty of time for a guy backing up Rondo.
