Is he going to bench Howard and start Pierce too so he can get his small ball on?

OMG!! THE WORST COACH IN THE NBA IS COACHING THE ALL-STAR TEAM!! OMG!!

First Sam Mitchell (the former worst coach in the nba) wins the coach of the year award and now this. What has the world come to?

Let us all be thankful Pat Riley isn't our head coach! He is freaking terrible. What's his record again? 8-33? With DWade and Shaq no less. Wow, what a bum. If he only played the young guys like Earl Barron and Dorrell Wright more.

THE GREAT GONZOLAYS!!

Haha, I know what you are getting at, and I agree! (somewhat) I think who you have as a coach really only matters in the playoffs (game by game adjustments)...the coach's style has to match the player's style too...unless of course the players or coaches can make easy adjustments which isn't always the case.

Since Doc hasn't really ever had a good roster in the playoffs ('05 Celtics were good, though...), we really don't know well he would do game by game against the same team.

Go Doc!

Congrats to Doc. Even when the team was bad and we were all on his case everyone conceded he was a great guy. Great for him, great for the Cs.
