Nice banner FL... Not such a nice game, so far. Are we needing to tank the season and dump Doc before the draft?

Green is on the court for the final shot. West misses a 3 at the buzzer and Final score is San Antonio 93 amd Boston 89. This team shows a lot of heart in that they don't give up and they have given a couple of the top teams in the league all they could handle.

They showed one play where Rondo lost his shoe. Stopped to put the shoe back on and then ran across court to get a steal. This kid is incredible. He has amazing court awareness and just never gives up.

I did not see the game - but I believe that the Celtic players want to be good and win in this league. The coach is clearly the problem here. We are in for a catastrophic 60 loss season and that cannot be tolerated by the fans or ownership or the players. I expect to see Doc Rivers replaced soon.

How can you look at the lineup and say that the coach is clearly the problem here? There isnt a coach alive that could get this lineup to do anything besides suck. Im not a Doc Rivers backer by no means, but like I said, he is far from the only problem.

Im not a Doc Rivers backer by no means, but like I said, he is far from the only problem. Doc did a helluva job in preseason getting ready for the guys to get off to that 10-4 start with that wimpy home-loaded schedule with Pierce and Sczczerbiak in the starting lineup, didn't he? If he had the vision to start West, Allen, Pierce, Jefferson, and Perkins against NOK, November 3, 2006 I think we would be in a different place before all the injuries hit. Yeah, the Celtics are fighting and losing close games but I still want to see what a competent NBA coach can do with this bunch. Doc doesn't drive tham hard enough.
