Doc hits the panic button and it looks like Delonte's red dome

[Ryan W]

According to the crack staff at the Globe:
(http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/celtics_blog/)
Doc might be starting Delonte at the point on
Wednesday.  Bad move, Doc.  II don't see what this
accomplishes, other than messing with the psyche of
Sebastian.  Does Doc even watch the games anymore? 
Delonte has been horrible all season--I take that
back, he had one good game, but the rest of the season
has been crap.  Last game he was 0-1 with 4 turnovers.
 He must be really tearing it up in practice (sorry, I
had to say it).  Doc will undoubtedly justify it by
saying that he wanted more defense, but there are
worse defenders and/or matchups in the starting lineup
than Sebastian (Wally struggles all the time on
defense, even when his butt muscle and/or ankle is 100
percent, and Gomes has matchup issues with about half
the power forwards out there) and he shouldn't be
scapegoated like this.  Yes, his defense can improve
and hopefully this motivates him to play more
consistently (he has the ability, but he doesn't
always use it, kinda like Pierce on defense), but when
was the last time Doc sucessfully motivated anybody? 
I can't remember it happening...all he seems to do is
make players worse the longer they are subjected to
his coaching.  We'll see; this is all just conjecture
on the Globe's part, so it might not be anything.
