Doc Rivers Nominated For Most Overrated Coach of the Year!!

That's what the headlines should have read when he received the real award. It seems that he coaches properly when this club is at home, but completely forgets how he did so each and every time the team goes down to Atlanta. The big 3 are playing way too many minutes. Sam Cassell is a HUUUGE disappointment and should not be allowed to play. Ever.

Not to mention the fact that when given the chance to tie the game, he decides brilliantly to set up a 3-point opportunity for the ice cold Ray Allen. This team is living and dying from three point land and it needs to stop. Now. He should have set up Kevin Garnett on the block, tied the game and put in Tony Allen to defend (remember him? yeah he plays defense well). This game could have been won several times. I am not at all concerned about winning game 7 (it is in Boston), but I am very concerned that this might be the only series the Celtics win this year.

Doc Rivers needs to realize (and fast, the Cavs are actually a marginally good team) that his team won 66 games in the regular season by balanced bench and star play. Not by exhausting the big three (although early in the season, they did log too many minutes). He needs to realize that overtime is a better alternative than game 7, and he needs to realize that the coach of the year award does not really mean anything.

I'm frustrated. I'm frustrated because the Hawks look like the veteran team.

And I'm done. I can't think about this anymore...I don't care that we'll probably win on Sunday. I care that we could have ended this series in 5 games.

Abysmal.
