There was a game in 2008 when they were getting blasted on the boards and trailing. Up to that point, Powe had barely played at all. Doc decided in the third quarter to give Powe a chance and he completely turned the board situation around by himself. From that point on, Powe was a rotation regular and there's a good chance the Celtics wouldn't have won a championship without him being in the rotation in the Finals. Just the simple fact that someone isn't in the rotation doesn't mean they can't play. Doc not infallible.
I can't even understand his mindset. Isn't he frustrated with Bass too? Is he trying to torture fans by keeping him out there minute after minute after minute?
