Doc Worried About PGs

"We’re trying to (move some players in with the key starters), but it’s tough with the format we have with the players," he said. "There’s just not a lot of point guards, so you’ve got to be careful of ending up with a guardless team. I’m trying to get (James) Posey and Tony Allen on that first unit. The guy we haven’t put on the first unit that we want to get on the first unit is Eddie House. Because we have a lack of (point guards), it’s just tough to do.
"With Gabe being out, it just shows how thin we are at that position. People keep talking about the point guard spot and they’re talking about Rajon. Rajon’s going to be fine. It’s what happens if he gets in foul trouble or one of the other guys can’t go. Then we’re thin."

My point exactly.

no kidding, sherlock. it’s not about rondo. it’s about depth. darrel armstrong was just released- get someone back in the states and look at him- especially his medical records.

Please don’t tell me Doc just now realized that one real PG (Rajon Rondo) isn’t enough?

yeah, we’ve been hearing all summer how they weren’t worried about the position and how we didn’t need a “traditional” gaurd … now this gem of a quote comes out… haha.

agree with all three comments above. Perhaps we should look at Doc’s medical records, he seems to be changing his frequency channel on PG’s? Shocking isn’t it.

Was Doc by chance in a coma for the last 4 months?

Funny how Doc contradicts both Danny and his own earlier statements. And in another article chastising Perk in the press about his conditioning. Perk should be chastised if need be, but not in the press, imo. I almost forgot how much I don’t like Doc as a coach. :-\…

Is Doc looking for excuses already?

Beuller…Beuller…

This is really funny. I hate to say it, but us posters on an internet blog sometimes know more than the people who are actually running teams. We need an experienced vet PG. Where have I heard that before?
