Around SBN: Hugh Douglas Admits To Stealing From Jaguars

doc..


??why??

Star-divide

am i the only one that is ok with how doc is handling this team?

two years ago the celtics win it all.. and for the people that say WE, show me the roster with your name on it!

last year the celtics were one win away from playing for the eastern confrence championship. oh yeah they didnt have KG, LEON POWE for the playoffs.

 this year they improved the bench. adding wallace, daniels, mr. candace parker aka sheldon williams. and are in the top 6-7 teams in the league argument. oh wait they havent had a full team ALL year. davis, daniels, kg, wallace, pierce, rondo, ta, perk, house have all missed games.. davis, daniels and kg have missed a good amount of games to add to that!

 someone please find 1 game where they all were available to play! and who won?

i always ask this question when i see people cry for doc to be fired, WHO IS GOING TO REPLACE HIM?  jeff van gundy? donny marshall? tibs?  jim o'brien, rick pitino, chris ford?

when they were healthy they won it all! all the older players min were down this year..

Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.

Doc

I think Doc has done a good job except for the fact that he wants to keep playing Scal. It is almost like he has dirty pictures of someone in the organization. Every person who has ever watched a game with me from diehards to people who hardly watch basketball ask why is he out there.

Hopefully when Daniels comes back, the bench will be kept to Daniels, Eddie House, Big Baby and Sheed. I’m ok with Tony Allen occasionally as the 10th guy because even though he makes bad decisons, he is at least athletic and the other team has no idea what he’s going to do out there.

The biggest challenge that Doc has is to make sure KG and Sheed don’t launch jumpers. They are both so effective underneath – the success of the team may hinge on them camping out down low with Perk.

Its reminiscent of Antoine. Jeff Van Gundy has pointed out, he was so devastating on the blocks – we had no one to cover him. We used to pray that he hit his first 3 because that meant that he would be launching all game. I feel like Sheed is exactly the same way.

so thats on doc? if we play our best players and loose. thats not on doc! thats on the players not executing and having enough focus for the entire game. its eddie house not being able to hit the side of a barn, kg and daniels not being healthy enough to play.

Kevin MsHale that's who

The man does not understand Celtic basketball. His hatred of rookies costs the team about 8 mil every year. Some players are just not good practice players. But they shine under the bright lights. I think he has lost the team because of his stupid rotations. Once players see you lack true understanding of the game. You can never get there best again because they don’t believe in you.

I think I can say without a shadow of a doubt that these players completely respect Doc

If you can’t put the effort into practice, there’s no way you can put the effort in when the pressure is on. you practice to learn the plays, the rotations. you do it to make it second nature. if it’s not, then you begin to overthink during the game. you overthink, you hesitate. you hesitate, you turn the ball over or leave your man open.

Giddens, Walker, Hudson, Pruitt, etc, all these guys simply aren’t good enough to make it in the NBA and there is no proof to show otherwise. Sure they’ll have a flashy dunk every now and again, but the dunk contest is only one day of the season, and it doesn’t even count.

I stand by Doc. I don’t care about the kids.

What do you mean...

…that they’re not good practice players but shine under the bright lights?
 
How do you shine under the bright lights in a NBA game? By knowing your team’s system so you can contribute under it. If someone wanted to argue that Walker or Giddens are doing well in practice and thus deserve minutes, that’s one thing. But if they can’t practice well, why should I believe they’ll do better come game time?

i like mchale, but i cant sit here and say he is BETTER, which is the key word. IS HE BETTER than doc? your 100% sure he is a BETTER COACH then doc? doc did well in orlando before all his players got injured. he won a CHAMPIONSHIP with these players, they like and are behind doc. mchale had kg in minnesota and never made the finals
