Doc finally did the right thing in the middle of the third by taking out Pierce, Gomes, and Wally. As well as these guys have been playing lately, they were just moving too slowly, at a snail's pace in the 3rd, and it was disappointing. Rajon and Jefferson added some much needed life. Even putting in Scal was a good move. As many things he isn't, the one thing he does add is constant energy and hustle. Now if only he'd bring in Powe, that will really give us a boost.

Why in the world aren't we using pick and rolls, or screens to free up our shooters? Too many stand still offense and isolations. Why isn't Doc harping on the guys to play with energy. If we don't start playing with urgency RIGHT now, we aren't going to walk away victorious.
C'mon guys, play with some life out there!!!

This is utterly disgusting. I just don't understand why Doc insists on sticking with the same guys when its not working. We need life and we need energy, and our starting 5 aren't playing like that. Put in Powe--I know he'll play hard.

I agree, Derren. I have no idea why Doc isn't playing Powe. He brings energy everytime he comes onto the floor and we could use some more defense.

Finally, some life out there. And it came from Wally driving it to the basket, and with Tony attacking the rim on a semi-fast break (getting a three point play).
The refs are over officiating.

Especially since Perkins isn't playing on a healthy foot. Jefferson and Powe should be tasked to help relieve some of Perkins' minutes.
