Some fans are in denial and want to pretend its not over yet. It's part of the stages of grief. If Boston had any intention of competing this year, doc would still be our coach. We are dumping kg and pierce and tanking. Probably will see catastrophic moves at the draft. We did doc a favor by letting him coach a contender instead of a "rebuilding" team. Some fans think "rebuilding" means "retooling on the fly".
