Seriously. He needs to act like a legit coach at this point.

Playing lock down D takes its toll. Fatigue shows up late.

Rondo needs to drive the ball around, not standing there waiting for teammate to get open. You need to CREATE opennings for your teammates.

EVERYTHING should go towards the hoop! No settling for ill advised jumpers. Only on kick outs should there be a jump shot

Perkins brushes against Rip and its a foul, but the Pistons are allowed to grab and hack all over the place.

Rip has flopped more times pancakes at IHOP on National Pancakes Day...never realized before how much of an unsportsmanlike player he is. I still think he should've been suspended for Game 2 after that elbow to KG's head in Game 1.

C's need to take matters into their own hands and pull a Bruce Bowen on him.

Well, this is do or die time right here. A little bit of Detroit pressure and the C's look ready to fold.

On the other hand, two or three made baskets and this game is OVAH.

Which is it gonna be boys?

Pierce at the line is the last thing I ever want to happen.

Doc deserves to be canned if we lose this.

Is Doc the worst coach ever? Can we bring subs in? We're running out of gas...

This is the most egregious bullsh*t one-sided officiating I have ever seen, and I watched the Celts-Cavs series.

Stuckey takes out Pierce like it's roller derby and no call from the refs.

Is this team mentally weak?? Playing like scared pussies when a win is within reach...

Wow, I didnt think they could blow this.

But it looks like Doc has refused to make the adjustments, how is it even possible for the Celts to get double teamed every play for an entire half and not figure out how to get away from it?

They need to drive to the hoop the rest of the way.\

Pistons getting those fouls they refused to give the Celtics in the 4th of the last game.

The ball should go INSIDE OUT. IN to KG and let him either take it to the hole or look for the open man CUTTING to the hole! Why does this seem to be so hard for Doc to figure out?
