O'Brien

[Steve Ouellette <bosox18@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have to agree with this. It's only the third game of the season and 
O'Brien already plopped Banks in the doghouse. Admittedly, he had about 
as bad a first half as is imaginable, but surely he could have played 
three minutes in the second half to give James a breather on the second 
night of back-to-backs. And Pierce went the final 36 minutes after 
Welsch showed a little something in the first half (and never returned). 
Not to mention that the team completely reverted to last year's brutal 
fourth quarter offense of "Let's stand around and try to give PP the 
ball against a triple team."

That was an easily winnable game.
