how dumb

[Steve Ouellette <bosox18@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Screwed up for the first time? Just because the Celtics won those games 
doesn't mean Carroll was making the right decisions. Since Hunter showed 
the world that he could indeed play, and that he can rebound with 
anyone, Carroll  has completely buried him -- four straight games now. 
Didn't see last night's game, but I will assume since the Celts were 
outrebounded by a dozen that Hunter could have helped in something more 
than six minutes.

Carroll consistently just forgets about people for whole halves or 
entire games. Hunter, Mihm and Jiri in particular, and it seems to have 
little to do with how they're playing. He's not getting Pierce rest, 
he's not getting the rookies experience, he'll play the same five for an 
entire half because he has a feeling.

I'm glad to see the Celtics open things up since O'Brien left, but there 
are thousands of coaches who could do that. I was torn between the 
Celtics making the playoffs or going into the lottery. I think now I 
have to root for the lottery, just so that meathead Carroll doesn't win 
a round in the playoffs and get an Obie contract.
