The Doc's Formula


I'm just glad Doc finally realized that Cassell was hurting more than he was helping against the Cavs.  That said, he might be more effective against the bigger Billups.  Though as much as I've complained about Doc's rotation issues, it looks like playing PJ was a stroke of genius.  Not to mention the re-emergence of Eddie House (instead of Cassell)!  I just hope that Doc sticks to some kind of normal rotation now.  PJ was great, but he's old and can't play those kinds of minutes again.  Also, what happened to Powe?!  I love Big Baby, but Powe was solid all year.  Why is he out of the rotation?

Anyway, as much as Doc's rotations scare me, i think the real key is Ray.  He needs to break out of his slump for the Celts to beat the Pistons.  Unfortunately, the Piston D is considered better than the Cav D.  The Celts can't afford for him to be a non-factor.  PJ can't save them every time.  Not on those ancient knees...  Doc needs to find a way to work him into the offense more.  He was double consistently off the pick and roll in cleveland.  Doc needs to find a way to get him involved for the Celts to take down Detroit.  should be a great series!

Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.

Doc's Rotation

As it stands now the Celtics don’t really have anyone that can guard a healthy Billups. And Cassell is not the answer. So why not have Rondo make Billups chase him around on the other end of the court.

I really have no clue who will get the bulk of the minutes backing up KG. I understand why Brown plays – he’s more of a 5 than Davis and Powe. And Brown came through yesterday.

Well done with the video. Thanks for stopping by.

agreed – about billups and brown. looks like doc kept his rotation tight. i’m not an expert but when they’re home it looks like the formula is set.

Eddie House

I agree with the Shamrock Headband, which says House’s contributions may be a bit overblown. But there is no denying that he is bringing something to this team. I’m a big Eddie House fan.
