DOC SAT THESE GUYS FOR THE LAST MONTH!! They shouldn't be "gassed".

The plan all season long was to cut the big threes minutes, but now I wonder if that only hurt them more.....because they are being asked to do more than they have all year, and do not seem to be conditioned to handle it.

How is this on Doc? When the KG trade went down everyone was concerned as to how they were going to limit the minutes of three over-30 players. THIS WAS THE GAMEPLAN GOING INTO THE SEASON.
Blame the players for not being in better game shape.
Garnett - 32.8 MPG regular season, 37.2 MPG playoffs
Pierce - 35.9 MPG regular season, 34.9 MPG playoffs
Allen - 35.9 MPG regular season, 37.9 MPG playoffs
You're telling me 4 minutes a game for these guys makes them "gassed"?

If Doc stuck with what got him there, this wouldnt be a question. They won 60+ games with the regular season rotation. They were the best road team in the NBA with their regular rotation. I understand that this is the playoffs and you want your best team on the floor at all times.....but the Celts beat these teams all year long giving the big three more than enough time to rest up.

THE REGULAR ROTATION HASN'T WORKED BECAUSE THE PLAYERS HAVE PLAYED LIKE GARBAGE.
POWE, DAVIS, CASSELL, AND ALLEN HAVE ALL PLAYED LIKE GARBAGE. Only KG, Pierce, and Rondo have shown flashes, and they are too inconsistent.
The NBA is a player's league. Doc was a shitty coach last year, but he's been good this year. Why do you think that is?
