Pitino lost Pacer game

[DJessen33@aol.com]

With two minutes left in the first period, Pitino inserts a rookie, brand 
new, with little to no practices with the team point guard into the game. 
Then he also inserts Adrain Griffen, a guy who he just off the injured list 
and has hardly played the whole year. He puts these guys in this second unit 
with VP or Battie, Erik Williams and someone else, I don't remember who. 
However, Stith, Walker and Pierce are all on the bench. These guys didn't 
have the slightest idea on how to get a basket with each other. They were 
horrible and the Pacers racked up a big lead. Griffen looked horrible. Why 
would you insert two new players into the second unit that is already 
fragile? Why wouldn't you allow Walker to play with the new point guard to 
take some of the pressure off of him? Why wouldn't you allow a couple of 
scorers (Stith or Pierce or Walker) to be in the second unit to take the 
pressure off? Why won't Pitino play Chris Carr? He could really help out the 
second unit in scoring.

The team was passing really well early on. Nice teamwork. Who could question 
the refs after the racked up O'Neil with quick fouls. After the Celts 
realized that they couldn't beat anyone with the second unit, they started 
getting beat on the fast break. The game was over early...This new point 
guard does have a nice NBA point guard body. He reminds me of Billups or 
Quinn Buckner body-wise...

This team is so screwed up fundamentally. I mean, the second unit, along with 
the point guard situation, it constantly changing. They have no idea on who 
the scorers are and where they need to get the ball. The first unit is 
undersized in the frontcourt and weak defensively.

I really think this team is better than they show. Pitino needs to go....
