The Celtics won tonight. They pummeled the Lakers for 3 1/2 quarters, only to stop playing in the 4th quarter. While players are always in part to blame, this was another Doc Rivers debacle. With a 24-point lead late in an emotional game, it's a great opportunity to:
#1
Keep player of the game Leon Powe involved
#2
Put in guys who are DYING to play (Davis, House, even Cassell) and who will keep up the pressure and the intensity
#3
Rest your main guys, who have performed great and can benefit from the break. There shouldn't be any reason to need them in there with a deep bench like they have at that point in a game.
#4
Call timeouts when your team is sucking.
So many more problems. So little time to blog. Off to walk the dog. And go back to work tomorrow. :(
