Them not playing is not their choice.....doc never played melo, white.....this is docs limits as a coach..enter popovich....he plays guys....makes them develop..now follow up and do your job as coach....!!!
doc is a lazy coach.
Should We Keep Fab Melo Next Year? Why? Staying on the bench polishing Docs shoes?
These comments and my Perkins comparison reminded me: I just went back and looked at the numbers, and during the 06-07 season we had the following minute allocation:
Player Age Exp MPG
Perkins 22 3 20
Rondo 20 R 23
Powe 23 R 11
Those same guys played even more in 07-08 (and two of them started!), when our other rookie Big Baby was also getting significant minutes.
After we fire Doc because he holds back rookies like Fab by not playing them, we should find out who was the Celtics coach in 2006-2007, and re-hire that guy.
That guy loved playing rookies!
He knew how to develop young talent into All-Stars!
He started two guys who were 21 and 23!!
He played rookies even on a championship team!!
