Korver was taking a piss on Pierce and raining 3's over him, how long did it take him to realise it was probably a better idea for AB to guard him?
Pierce is shooting like shit and throwing up ill advised jumpers. Jeff Green shot was falling and he was getting to the line FFS!

Putting this on Doc is just the worst sort of player-worshipping horseshit you can do. At what point are we going to hold the players accountable?
Re: Boston blows a 20 pt lead because they have a "d*ckhed for a coach"
How does Rondo dominate the ball for 45 minutes and not get to the FT line once? And this isn't just one game. Guy averages less FTA's than Luke Ridnour. Is he afraid of shooting FT's or what?
Re: Boston blows a 20 pt lead because they have a "d*ckhed for a coach"
It's all on Rivers. Your roster is loaded. Pierce is struggling now. What do you expect? You force him into the ugliest ISO situations and he delivers, while the rest of the game it's the Rondo show. And the problem with that being the system is that the rest of the guys don't wanna play at Rondo's pace. And that's a shame, because the coach keeps encouraging him to play this way. It's also an insult to guys who can play, like they need Rondo to save them. All Rivers does is say nothing. And do nothing.
It's his fault like it's been for almost two years. I say it all the time and I'm right all the time. I saw more of his shit yesterday.

He doesn't get calls. Did you see how many times he drove tonight and didn't get one call?
The guy just had 2 big triple doubles, on back to back nights, and got 4 total free throws. It's ridiculous.

No matter what Doc does or says, there are just some guys on this team right now who aren't going to listen or buy in. Hardly the first team this has happened to and it won't be the last time it happens either.

Repost:
Howard and Nash for Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo and Jason Terry
Since the Celtics and Lakers are both scuffling, why not shake things up with a blockbuster trade that would feature four of the league's biggest names? From the Lakers' perspective, Garnett would be a much better fit in the frontcourt than Howard. His still-elite defense would solve a lot of L.A.'s problems at that end, and his pick-and-pop game would space the floor for Gasol. Getting Rondo as the centerpiece of the next iteration of the Lakers would help salvage giving up Howard, and Terry could provide scoring punch and outside shooting off the bench.
For Boston, the vision would be longer term, as a re-signed Howard would be an anchor for years to come and an upgrade on Rondo in that role. Adding Nash allows the Celtics to remain competitive, and Doc Rivers has plenty of alternatives to Terry in the backcourt now that Avery Bradley is healthy. If Danny Ainge is going to break up the Boston core, he may as well aim as high as Howard.
There are plenty of reasons why this wouldn't work. A Rondo-Bryant backcourt is a tough fit because Rondo needs the ball in his hands. Unlike Nash, he is not dangerous as a spot-up shooter. Pairing two defenders in Bryant and Rondo who like to freelance and take risks could prove disastrous in terms of contesting outside shots. Ultimately, the Celtics probably say no because they take on the same risk as the Lakers of Howard leaving.
