COY or coy?

[Jeff White]

I think this is much ado about nothing.  If Boston loses an early-season
game to, say, Indiana, would an extra practice in Rome have made the
difference?  Who the f*ck knows?  What's the pace of a typical Doc Rivers
practice?  Is there a lot of down time and standing around, or is every
minute used efficiently?

If you're telling there's a pattern here, in that Doc often seems to cancel
practices, I'll grant you that.  But do we know that other NBA coaches --
the Jerry Sloans, the Phil Jacksons, the Pat Rileys -- don't routinely do
the same?  Maybe you guys know, but I don't.  For all I know, the daytime
practice in Rome yesterday ran long and was the best the C's ever have had,
and so Doc/Danny figured the team-bonding experience at the Vatican would
suffice for the rest of the day.

Cheers,


Jeff White
