Boston Celtics tests

well, if i'm the coach i'd probably play them 40 minutes a game now too.

hey, we're 6 games into the season, you REALLY believe they learned all playbook wrinkles yet, fully understand how to take advantage of each others skills? No way. These are great guys and you can see where their instincts can already lead them, but to know "blindly" where your teammate is going needs time ... and reproduction, over and over.

One season might not be enough, but it's sure a great thing to learn early on against lesser competition.

We all know ... or assume, since Doc is considered a crappy coach ... Doc will continue having them log heavy minutes, but the jury's out on that. IMHO he's not at fault doing it now ...

I think he is only considered a weak coach here...he did win Coach of the Year a few years back.

Do I think they learned all the playbook wrinkles yet? Yea.  I think the playbook at this point is one page and reads "Just do what you 3 do"    Has anyone seen them run set plays other then pick and roll or the Spurs special?

Sounds like Stephon Marbury may become available soon, after the Knicks buy him out, so they can sign him and give him big minutes .

On a more metaphysical level, is 40 minutes in the Eastern Conference, equal to 32 minutes in the West?

Sounds like Stephon Marbury may become available soon . . .

I'll keep Rajon, thanks.
