It's one thing to say that they were all young players who needed to learn, quite another to do the equivalent of throwing a kid in the deep end every swimming lesson from the start.<BR/>There's more game strategy and tactical know-how on the court for the Celtics this year than there was on the bench the last few.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02198231453853385512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683391214064242907.post-16264617030648556612008-03-29T19:52:00.000-04:002008-03-29T19:52:00.000-04:00Tim, Fair enough.

They just had all those ugly turnovers and once they lost the lead I never noticed any intensity or urgency and it surprised because I haven't seen that at all this season. <BR/><BR/>Concerning the other comment; sorry for not being more clear. I was referring to last season and the season before when we lost basically every close game. If my memory serves me, they basically lost every single game that was close down the stretch, due to, in my opinion, ill advised roster management, poor play calling or not calling time outs at the right times down the stretch (or just not calling timeouts at all sometimes).<BR/>-JPSpacemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05450132515576771288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683391214064242907.post-8812235322693590722008-03-29T18:48:00.000-04:002008-03-29T18:48:00.000-04:00Um, they have not lost every single close game.

The C's mailed it in against the Sixers the other night. That was ugly. I know Doc did some strange substitutions (or lack thereof) at the end of the game, but they looked lackluster. That is probably the only time that's happened all year which is incredible. My main concern is with Doc managing the end of a close game 7 against a team like detroit. I just keep thinking back to when this team was terrible last year and the year before in particular. They lost a lot of very close games. More accurately, they lost every single close game. Some of that gets chalked up to young players and inexperience. But ultimately that is bad coaching down the stretch. A good coach would've won at least a good chunk of those games. Doc has consistently mismanaged the end of close games. Thankfully, most games this year haven't been close.Spacemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05450132515576771288noreply@blogger.com
