I'm not as worried about Doc's coaching as much as some of you. The NBA is a player's league. With a veteran team, Doc just needs to let the guys play and not do too much, ala KC Jones during the Bird Era.

Minutes are a huge deal, and that's Doc's biggest problem. Even with the shortened roster, he'll probably go overboard and have KGPPRA play a combined 120+ a night, when it should really be somewhere in the 100-110 range. He'll play Scal too much, Powe and Pollard not enough (he's my sleeper pickup of the year. He's been a very productive player in his career and fits perfectly for the back up roll). He'll play around with PG position for about the entire season, rotating between Rondo, Ray Ray, TA, and Scalabrine.

He'll be too hard on Perk, benching him too quickly for mental lapses and to compound mistakes, shift KG over to the 5.

Even with KG on his roster, one of the best defenders in the league, he'll still manage to screw up defending the pick and roll (making it 4 straight years of complete ineptitude in this regard).

He'll be really great with the media so he won't get skewered too much by the Boston press, and when a few people speak out against him, they'll rally behind him and defend him in print.
