Po’s Post Game Points

First Comment!!!!!!!

WOOOOT!!!!!

Good thoughts especially on playing Powe. Doc is terrible, which brings me to my next comment. I don’t know if you heard the interview on the Fan with Tommy Heinson and the Mad Dog Wednesday, but if you didn’t it was very interesting. Mad Dog asked Tommy how good he thought the team was and he said that he thought they were so good that if they asked him to coach the team he would! Hmm.

I have a feeling that if the loosing streak is still going when we come back from the five game road trip after the all-star game, Doc will quit before he gets his name attached to a losing streak record like 27 games. Thinking that way kind of brings a sense of peace.

Yes, Powe should be getting minutes. What are we waiting for?

Master Po, if the Celts trade for Gasol, this board is going to be a mess: Po, Pau, Paul, Powe. On top of the Allen confusion. We’ll have to bring in Al Green to sing the national anthem.

The true Master at work with exellence as usual…bottom line is with Pierce we’re a 35 team,w/o a 20 win team and with PP and a serious player coming from draft day this June we’re a 45 win team and getting better….and that’s with Wyc,Danny &Doc in place..Danny can ruin this coming 6 months by trading the pick for a “Telfair” type like last june or having a bad coach for next october or trading AL,PP etc for bad or hurt players like Theo,Wally etc…..BUT if Danny/a GM came in fresh in May with this group playing today and added Pierce for nothing and got a stud pick (both which might happen) we’d think this was the best thing since 1986…we hate it,makes us nuts but this year is a Godsend and 100% needed..i’m hitting the big 50 before camp opens and i’m 100% sure the next 20 seasons will be better than the last 20….KEEP THE FAITH!!!!

Appreciate the PO-sitive outlook!

Wyc says… you fans just all lack the patience needed to build a perennial winning team. And you also lack the knowledge that our basketball insiders have, so you are not well informed. You all need to suck it up and endure some more suffering before we lead you to the promised land.

He just called me… ;)

Did anybody saw any desire of victory on thoes players? Why Wally still tried to attack the paint since he was such a fragile player? I was so confused when Doc sent five tiny players onto the court in the early 4th quarter… Maybe he had played NBA Live too much…

Very nice job Master Po, including the typing! ;D My wife yelled at me when I started screaming at the tv as we gave up 10 points in 2 minutes and lost the lead. She was 2 rooms over and said she couldn’t hear the program she was watching. Guess I still care a little bit. For me, the worst moments of any game now is when my two least favorite gals are on the floor (especially at the same time). That is Zoey and the Telfairy Princess. The offensive rebounding was nice but having so many opportunities to get them wasn’t. Glad I fell asleep at half time, saved me a ton of aggravation. By the way, you now owe me 20 bucks, Mr. I Smell a Victory. ;D ;D

there is only 1 team worth “competing” with… memphis

The only game the matters to me is the Ping Pong Ball Game. That’s one we can ill afford to lose.

The reason Powe sees little action is because we are “tanking”, make no mistake about it. The reason Doc remains coach, because we are “tanking”.

We (fans) are all suckers for supporting this team. It is our hard earned dollars paying for the likes of Doc’s $5M coaching salary, and Danny’s mindless transactions: Wally trade/Telfair deal.

Management will not make any changes because to get a new coach is a “hit” in their wallet. Fans need to stop supporting this team financially (tickets, etc) until Wyc and boys take a hit in their wallet.

I am for giving the younger players minutes, accepting the loses, getting a great draft pick. Every team is capable of going out and playing a decent 1/4 of basketball. I know the players are trying but the coaching, management, etc is not. I fail to see much development on this team except for Big AL and some from Tony Allen before the injury.

The fact that this man is allowed to continue to coach this team says all that needs to be said about the tanking Celtics and this pitiful season.

Doc has the uncanny ability to completly kill momentum and make just the wrong substitution at just the wrong time. Anytime the team is going well, he immediately changes the lineup. I really wonder if his mission is to take one for the Green and tank the season. No one could be that stupid. He is constutionally incapable and leaving a lineup that is playing well in the game for an extended period of time. He also is incapable of abusing a matchup problem for the other team. Usually when one team has a matchup advantage over the other team it is the other team that makes the subtitution. Not with Doc, anytime someone on the Celtics is abusing his man, he immediately gets taken out. Think about this, nearly any player in the league is capable of scoring 35 points on a really hot night. Guys like LaBradford Smith have dropped 40 Michael Jordan before. Yet, this never happens with the Celtics. Why? Because as soon as someone gets hot, Doc pulls him.

I agree JohnK. Doc always kills momentum by changing the entire lineup instead of giving a rest to 1 or 2 players at a time. What an awful coach Doc is! I want him gone… Now! Get another coach in here to make some sense of this team and evaluate the players so the new coach won’t waste half of next season getting to know this team.

I saw Dave Cowens on the Pistons bench the other night. I’d love to see him here. He would light a fire under this team. I still like DJ too.

Good job Po.
Guys I am tired of the Rivers runaway train wreck, but who do you think would want to take the helm of this disaster we are witnessing?
No respectable coach will touch this mess till end of the season.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Doc stays in Orlando after the all star break.

Delonte West is the most overrated Celtic I have ever seen. From the way people on this site talk about him I thought he was a borderline all-star. Not!

CfanMissippi, you ask who to coach this mess.

I won’t pretend that I know every assistant coach in the league, but there are some excellent ones out there and those in the “know” know who they are.

You take a chance on an Eric Mangini type assistant coach, somebody just “chomping” at the bit to coach. Look at the Raptors. They hired a nobody coach and they are playing winning ball.

If nothing else, if the new assistant coach doesn’t pan out, we are in no worse shape than we were with Doc and at least we have younger players being properly developed and playing good team ball.

At the end of the year, you evaluate what this assistant has done for the last half of the year. If he’s done an outstanding job, give him a 2 year deal. If not go after Rick Alderman, etc, etc, etc.

Making a coaching change is a “no brainer”. This franchise is all about the $$$ and they aren’t going make a change because Doc wants his $5M and management doesn’t want to buy him out.

The advantage of a new coach is you have someone who can finally teach and evaluate. We are going to spend another 1/2 season sorting out this mess with a new coach at the start of next season if we don’t get rid of Doc now.

I won’t go to a game and put a brown paper bag over my head but it is that type of fan reaction or a great hit in attendance that will finally push this franchise to make a change.

So where was Ainge last night? I saw Grousbeck in his ususal seat, but not Ainge. Is Danny still in China?

I’m rooting for 30 losses in a row, but Grousbeck and Ainge ought to be forced to sit there and suffer through every single one of them.

Doc’s response after the game was to say he’s going to shorten the rotation? Methinks ownership has decided the franchise would be better off winning one—especially before the West Coast trip after the AS break—rather than drawing attention for a league record in losses. (Doc of course agrees!) Thus he’s gonna keep his best combo in, rather than give out developmental minutes, the next few days.

There is not reason to watch this team right now. AJ has arrived, and that’s nice. I was hoping to see GG “grow-up” but with every minutte eh plays his value keeps decreasing(remember how we used to scream for more mins for GG?…oh, those were the days..)….so right now, I am just counting the days ‘til lottery day(..and the kicker is that we don’t even know if Oden/Durant are comming out this summer)….

Why does everyone rip the Wally deal? Blount and Ricky had to go. We got a good complimentary player (when healthy) and what could be a very good draft pick. Wally’s only problem is that he and Perk should be inactive with PP until they are healthy.

I’m not super politically correct at all but how bout we take a day off from calling Bassy “Telfairy” and support players coming out of the closet so it’s not a big deal anymore. Amaechi is definitely not alone; Rivers is right, if he can play, who cares?

GG and Rondo need to continue to get minutes. The more they play the more deficiencies they show the sooner they will be able to overcome them. The rest of this season is to get these guys nba minutes, it’s a learning curve, GG is very young he’s going to have ups and downs, don’t sour on him, he’s probably two years away from concerning other teams. He needs to get stronger, work on his handle and get repetitions during games. At the begining of the year, Doc had him stand at the three point line and wait for the ball. Now they have him coming off picks and moving without the ball, it’s all new to him at this level.

With twenty games to go, you’ll start to see more of Powe.

  In Sacremento, they’re saying Bibby can’t get around his own mother.

I agree Steinalive, about not calling Telfair Telfairy or any of our players derogatory names. I’m really surprised at you, Po, that you stooped so low as to call a 21 year old names. Very juvenile.

Good one Po! Just read Herald article on Oden. He SOUNDS good. I know everyone likes his game but he sounds like a smart kid. We can take the losing for the crack at this kid. Just got back from southern Chile where a waiter trying to get me into his restaurant after I told him I was from Boston said “I love the Celtics. Do you?” We all laughed because my travel partners have kidded me that I was the only Celtics fan left in Bosotn let alone South America. So I’ll keep hanging on. I like the idea of Cowens on the Cletics bench. I’m not as certain as other posters re what the problems are (Danny, Doc, players, dancers, Lucky, Ernie D, etc) but its the oldest adage in the book that it is easier to change the coach than all the players. Maybe Cowens doesn’t have the x’s & o’s talent but he is hope and tradition

let’s remember folks ..Telfair was a 3rd string PG in portland and he’s showing us exactly what he is now …….A 3RD STRING PG!! So the fact that everyone expected him to be that great PG we so desparately needed is foolish atbest
