We brought in a lot of new and exciting players, but there is no gain from having new tools if you do not know how to use them. We have a coaching problem people.
In some ways I agree...
Garnett and Pierce are still featured as the nucleus of our team, but they are our oldest and slowest players. This negates all the speed we brought in. Our opponents are vastly younger and quicker than us, and it shows in the ease with which they score on us, and the fouls that they draw on our defense.
Doc gets the big bucks, and he has the players it is time to put the speed on the floor to run with Rondo, bring Pierce off the bench for Green at the three.
But this is not one of them.
KG and Pierce are playing big minutes, and guess why? Because they are two of the top 3 players on this team (Rondo of course being the other).
In the first three games Pierce is averaging 20 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.
Garnett is averaging 13 points, 8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks.
Who do we have right now putting up better numbers per minutes than those guys? Nobody.
Also Pierce isn't a bad player on the break. He generally does run and when he does he's equally as capable of attacking the basket or spotting up for three.
Green will be a good player for us, I'm sure of it...but he is not better than Pierce by any means.
