Doc Rivers coaching strategies is no longer working in the Celtics game while Thibs is flourishing! 

What aspect of the game did Thibs beat Doc?

Bulls - 21 turnovers

Celtics - 10 turnovers

Bulls - 48% FG

Celtics - 41.8% FG

Is it Doc's fault the Celtics can't shoot?

Fierce...stop confusing a good emotional argument with facts...

I'd rather base it on facts than emotion. 

You really think bangkoker would have said what he said if Bellineli missed that game winner?

Fierce you can trace-up my previous comments about the the blunders of Doc in the final 20 seconds before the over time...am watching live man!

I'm watching the game live too. 

Here's my question for you, would you rather have Jeff Van Gundy coaching the Celtics instead of Doc?

The point is Doc is not the best but he's the best coach for this team. Take the good with the bad.

Well you have a point, however as what I have said Doc strategies is no longer working while Thibs is flourishing am trying to compare the two coaches, and if you noticed for several games Doc will call only a time out when the opposing teams have already a momentum on their side while opposing coach usually call a time-out when ever celtics are gaining momentum...thats only my observation...

You can't put everything Doc does on a microscope. 

That game would've been over in regulation if KG played well. KG went 1-9 FGs at one point.

Pierce was horrible too.

Come on!

Doc lost the game by playing Terry with Rondo at the end.

Tom outcoached Doc.

That's your opinion but for me the last 20 seconds in regulation is a big blunder in Doc's strategies. Somehow you are right about KG and Pierce if they just played even average tonight  chances are we got a win.

Terry had a great late game; helatious defense and hit key shots. The team lacked poise and Chicago exploited that by making the heads up plays when they needed them. The bulls are a very well coached team.

Terry was a minus 3.

Terry's man hit the tying shot.

Terry's man hit the winning shot.

Terry with Rondo allowed Chicago to post up Rondo and foul him out.

Terry did not lose that game, Pierce and Garnett did with their lacklustre play the whole game.  Can you try to be objective. You seem to go a by a rule book Kirk which does not alllow change.   You see the way the two oldest players sleepwalk from fatigue tonight yet you don't think they need help in the frontcourt.  Melo or Wilcox will somehow remedy the situation.  You can't believe that.

Don't argue with someone who has a problem processing what he said in the past because you'll go crazy yourself.

This was a very tough loss.  People looking at Doc and then blaming Terry who has not been allowed to get enough shots all season and get in the flow just don't know what they are talking about. Let's hope Bradley does not have a nagging injury here.

Right now it's very obvious Pierce and KG are not elite players anymore. If the Celts can't get that big, they should get Rudy Gay or Josh Smith. Time to think about the future because even if the Celts get that big man, Lebron is at the peak of his career right now. I don't think the Celtics will have enough firepower to beat the Heat in a 7-game series even if the Celts get another big man.

Josh smith and KG up front with Pierce, Rondo and Bradley?

Nasty.

Green, Lee and Wilcox would work financially. Green and Lee would both probably start for Atlanta.

It also gives financial flexibilty for next year.

It changes from game to game but Green could be used with Bass.  Would that match?

Yup.

Bass and Green for Josh.

The Hawks actually might go for that.

Smth is a free agent, they don't want him to walk for nothing.  Green still has some cred and could be productive in big minutes on a team like Atlanta.

If you google Smith and Celtics things pop up.  there are some rumors out there.

I would even say it might be a good trade for both teams . Green could flourish and Bass can go back to being a bench player where he is pretty good.  I hope this thing can happen.

Rivers decision to play Terry in crunch time allowed Chicago to post up Rondo which lost us the game.

Lee should be the backup two guard when Bradley is out.

Give me a break ....Terry played great defense and what makes you think that Lee wouldnt have been posted up? in fact earlier in the game he was ....

Great defense?

Terry's man hit the tying shot.

Terry's man hit the winning shot.

Terry being in the game allowed Chicago to post us Rondo with bigger players and foul him out.

Terry is the worst guard on the team.

Im not going to argue with someone who clearly knows nothing about basketball...

Kirk will tell you he's been watching basketball for 45 years.

'watching" being the operative word...

Yeah, but according to Kirk, 45 years of watching means he's a basketball genius.

Kirk rarely surprises me anymore. He once said give Collins more playing. The the next game Collins started. Kirk then bragged about how he predicted Collins would be starting the next game. Seriously, is saying give Collins more playing time equal to predicting Collins would start in the next game?
