Doc Rivers Blew Game 3!!!

My man Doc Rivers.  I got mad love for you. But you blew game 3.  There were four things in this game you missed.

4.  When Paul Pierce got his 5th foul early in the 4th quarter keep him in the game.  Doc you over coaching on that one.  You should’ve trust Paul Pierce enough to not get a 6th called on him.

3. Speak to Kevin Garnett.  I know this is really being a jerk about this, but tell Garnett to stop shooting jumpers and take the”DAMN” ball to the hole .  GaSol is soft and Garnett would’ve been more effective.

2. Eddie House in the second half was doing a good job.  House was being aggressive and by doing that was creating shots for the other Celtics.  Raja Rondo who went out with and ankel injury. At times in the game was timid.  House came in shooting and the Lakers had to respect his shot.  When Rondo came back in the game the Lakers played 4 on 5 they knew Rondo was not going to shoot.  Bottom line Doc should’ve kept House in the game.

1. ***SIGH*** There is no way in all of basketball do you not double Kobe Bryant.  With 1 plus mintues left in the game. You must double Byrant and make someone else on the Lakers beat you.  Ray Allen cannot hold Kobe socks up therefore he cannot guard Kobe one on one.  No one in the NBA can guard this guy one on one.  Bryant should’ve been forced to give up the ball and make Odom,GaSol, Fisher, etc beat you. Not Kobe Byrant and to being guard one on one by Ray Allen? No Doc that aint going to work.
