While I know Doc's game management skills have always been questionable the one thing that frustrates me the most is his use of timeouts.
He'll let a team go on a 10 nothing run with the crowd going crazy before he calls one. Other coaches sense right away after a big play or two that they need to call one to settle the troops down.
He doesn't seem to do this.
Does he think timeouts are worth extra points at the end of the game? Ugh.

He's the starting PG, it's his job to direct plays, instruct players, relays signals and improvise on broken plays, hes failed on all of them.
do i really have to repost?
you cant pin an entire team's collape on one player, especially when, i wont blame them entirely that wouldnt be fair, the refs who usually favor a home team slightly more than slightly favored the hawks tonight
also, if your description of rondo was anywhere close to accurate he wouldnt have had as many votes in the most improved player category as he did and we wouldnt have been a great team in the regular season
oh, and if youre looking at stats i guess i didnt realize that rondo's 40 assists to 4 turnovers was worse than bibby's 13 to 12
rondo is tied with chris paul to lead the postseason in ass/to at 10, bibby is # 45
edit: those stats werent including tonights game, but rondo's terrible game was still better than any game bibby had until tonight, and bibby still almost lost it by not hitting both FTs

Ok. Calmed down. No more cursing..well maybe a little.
I think the celtics will win game 7. But I will be worried. Anything can happen. And I'll tell ya, after seeing the pats lose to the giants, this might just drive me nuts. Over the edge. I cannot take another upset, where you can't even turn on espn without them talking about, is this the biggest upset in history???? Argh! It just angers me so much.

I think he's an excellent young starting point guard, and has improved greatly through the season, and will continue to improve. A lot of teams would love to have him as their starting PG.
I wonder where your hostility towards him comes from.

I doubt he thought he'd get a technical for throwing his headband towards the bench; it's not like he threw it in the direction of the official. No idea why a ref felt the need to make that ridiculous call in that situation and then give Pierce a technical for frustration towards a call like that. Again, it's not like he threw it in the direction of the ref. I was stunned he got T'd up for that, especially at such a crucial part of the game.
i felt like the 6th for the graze on pachulia was a little touchy but i wasnt going to bitch about that. it wasnt anything that many players on both teams have gotten away with all series so why they had to call it now i dont know...
but the technical was ridiculous, what do you expect pierce to be glad or cool with the fact he fouled out on a questionable call? and as rondo show said, his frustration was towards the bench, no refs, its a little ridiculous.
bob delaney claims hes disgusted by tim donaghy, but who is the one who was really in bed with the mafia

the cavs are gonna eat them for lunch. I mean LJ will eat them for lunch.
I would have never said that before this series, but its truly pathetic the celtics are going 7 with a loser team who has no shot at the championship.
the celtics have played some basketball that may be as historically terrible as their defense was good in the season

He lost his composure and it could have been the difference in the game.
The foul had already been called, why throw your head band like that in such an important game?
Even if the Celtics win game 7 (which I would bet on) I have my doubts as to whether or not they'll keep their composure against a much most experienced, playoff tested Cavs team.
Maybe he took lessons from Sheed on how to have an emotional meltdown and throw his headband? I dunno.

im not so petty as to put it all on the refs, but there has been some legit favoritism cards played in the ATL.
now anyone who doesnt expect the home team to get some preference in a playoff series in the nba probably has never watched the nba playoffs, but the margin of preference has been much greater for the hawks in ATL than the Cs in BOS

it might be questionable, but really, what possess a player to grab another player with both arms when you are sitting on 5 fouls.... as a matter of fact, what lack of instict do you have to hug another player with zero fouls.
but anyway, the tech was a tech, we don't know what exactly Paul said to the ref, but i think he got the tech because he was slow in getting off the court.

No, we are really blaming the refs for calling a one-sided, **** game and making calls that haven't been made all year at the most important part of the game.Hairy Midget wrote:You guys really blaming the refs for a 66 win team going 7 games against a 37 win team in the playoffs?
But thanks for your concern, chief.
