Which is sad, but true. Hiring Doc will eventually prove to be Danny's downfall. I dont think ownership can or want to wait any longer for that !!!GREENIAC!!! Doc to win anymore. Bring in Larry Brown or someone who can coach D. Screw uptempo. D is what wins you anything. Once we have a coach who has a clue on D, we will win more games.

Sprash, I agree 100% that it is Defense that is most important. As long as we don't have a clue on defense, we won't win anything. Doc's statement last season really upset me about Doc... He said that he was working on offense in practice because that is the hardest to learn and they were getting defense because after all, while they work on offense, half the team has to play defense. That tells me he doesn't have a clue.

I thought that statement was about 25 times dumber than misspelling potato or thinking Wal mart is a place they sell malls. And Doc isn't as good looking as Paris so he can't get away with a statement like that.

As long as Ainge is here, defense takes a back seat to offense. I think defense is something we all want improved (including Doc and Ainge) and hopefully we'll start seeing a better defensive effort on the floor. This year, I expect this team to be one of the tops in the league in steals. We should also be an improved rebounding team (that's why its important to get Powe up and running).
We may not be the next Detroit Pistons, but our defense has room to improve a few notches.

As long as DA keeps giving Doc half way decent players (many of which have reasonable amounts of p.. pote...I can't say it) and Doc keeps using them wrong and playing guys that don't deserve the minutes I think DA will be around longer.

With 20 coaches on the team, you would like to think a couple of them know how to teach D fundimentals. You can't teach speed but you can positioning.

Fire Doc and hire Brown? Surely you jest.
DA is going to be around for a long time.
I'm a little surprised at the continual EX CATHEDRA pronouncements that Doc doesn't give enough minutes to our favored players. I lack the absolute certainty fo that which some of you possess.

When I see guys like Scala and Raef and Blount playing (never mind starting or getting major minutes) and guys like Al and Perk and GG and Gomes sitting the bench that tells me he is playing the wrong guys. If they were winning then I might not complain.
