I never bought the excuses. Not in Doc's whole tenure as coach.
Takeaway the Thib years and he sucks
Like I said earlier; Seems like they ran Clifford Ray out of town because he preached rebounding. Ever since then, there has been a lot of small ball.
There's been alot of small ball because Ainge hasn't been looking to recruit bigs... or the bigs that we currently have are not "big" in a sense. How can you blame Doc for going small when that's all that he has to work with?
he could have at least tried when his gameplan isn't working. but no no no doc genius is no fan of change.
Well then what lineup would he be going with? I felt like he did try to go big in Game 2 when he had PP at the 2, Green at the 3, Bass at the 4 and KG at center.
What other lineup would you rather have seen? Or better yet what other lineup would make more sense if you wanted to go "big."
First TP!!! Very civilized question.
I'd go:
Terry
Lee
Pierce
Shav
KG
Bradley- when JR Smith comes in
Green
Bass
Wilcox
I'd keep Shav and KG as a rotation and Bass and Wilcox as a rotation.
The problem Doc deals with is making everyone happy. The guys who you don't have to make happy are:
White
Melo
Shav
T-Will
Wilcox
But Doc feels he must play: (egos)
Terry
Crawford
Lee
Bradley
Green
Pierce
Kg
Bass
So he goes small.
