10 reasons why Celts will still lose

[gene kirkpatrick]

I'm dumbfounded by some of the recurrent mistakes, also, but do you think it's the players or the coaches?  These guys have been in just about every game and played well against the best teams in the league.  They haven't done that with smoke and mirrors; there's been some excellent ball movement, some fine point guard play, rebounding, etc.  Do you think it's the players or the coaches that have fallen short?  I'm just more and more convinced that Doc knows basketball but can't or won't demand it of the players.  I think Bobby Knight or Duke's coach K. could get this bunch whipped into shape in a week.

something resembling intelligence manifested on the basketball court

McCartney's trying their best to impress their coach. In the 40 
years I've watched the Celtics play, this year's edition is by far 
the stupidest bunch we've ever had.
