This is a coach's lost!

[Berry, Mark S]

See, I don't think the rotation was the problem last night. He had the
right guys playing, other than Tony Allen. They just played lousy. There
were coaching things that drove me nuts -- lack of adjustment on the
pick-and-roll at the top of the list, followed closely by no adjustments
on offense to get guys going and no general plan or cohesion. But the
rotation, for once, wasn't an issue for me.

No Kidding.  The rotation just boggles the mind. When Doc was in
Orlando, his team tuned him out right about the beginning of the third
season.  Is this deja vu?
   
  Why give Tony Allen almost twenty minutes playing time when it took
him less than five to prove he was useless? You could have given most of
those minutes to Gerald Green, who might have lit things up a bit.
   
  If your two bigs are getting in foul trouble, why not put Kandi in
after he won himself a spot on the team during the preseason?  
   
  Wally couldn't hit the ocean last night so why not sit him some and
let Powe crash the boards for a while?

Sure it was an emotional night. The shots weren't falling. No excuse.
Chris Paul spent the entire third quarter running his defender into
picks and driving to the basket. Coach should have made an adjustment.
Fourth quarter, the defender dropped below the pick and really affected
CP's control of the offense. What an idiot! Also, he couldn't see that
Wally and DW were embarrassing themselves out there. OK they were having
a bad night, those things happen. Don't add fuel to the fire and leave
them out there. Sit them down for a bit, thro GG out there to shake
things up a bit. I suspect he could not have done worse that Wally &
DW's 1 for 12 shooting. A high school coach could have made that
decision without much trouble.

This game was winnable with a decent coach. Snoop any chance of
adjusting the prediction list to allow for coach losses. Maybe one
column for doc games and one column for W/L's with a real coach.

BTW, I predict starting lineup against the pistons on Friday to be

Pierce
Powe
Wally
Gomes
Green

What, no PG or Center you say? Not too worry, we'll out coach'em. Holy
Crap!!!!!!!!!!!! It's ok though, we got the silicon beauties on the
sidelines, who cares about the game

OK done venting now, going to climb back under my rock.

I like Doc I really do. He seen like a nice guy and I don't think he is
a bad coach But... I don't think he is a good coach!

He just doesn't and didn't have this team ready to play. What has he
been doing this pre season?? They didn't move the ball, they didn't
run, they didn't play defense, they couldn't shoot free throws, they
could not shoot period! This was a total breakdown a really bad game.
Yes it was an emotional night but it's the coaches job to anticipate
that it might be. It's the coaches job to get the team psychically and
psychologically prepared. That wasn't close to Celtic basketball. It
will be a long season if this continues...

It looked like the team has turned Doc off (already) or is Rivers not
coaching. Maybe Doc is doing everything he can and our players are just
dumb. Nahhh, this one is the coach's fault !
