<td> Pretz, I agree that you should probalby go with your bench but not until you make sure your starters do not begin to doubt and second guess themselves. It is probably a good idea to bench the guys now but he will wait until the 2 minute mark just to keep your starters confidence up. I do not think you change for the playoffs. Just ask Avery Johnson. You just might out guess yourself! </td>

==============================================
I don't necessarily disagree with that cmsball20. Sometimes though, you have to try to get a spark from somewhere. Perhaps if House can get hot, Allen and Baby can rebound and create turnovers, you carry that over to when your regulars come back in. The key is to win games. All they need is one to prove they can do it and build confidence. What do you have to lose at this point?
Honestly, how can the confidence of the starters be any lower than it is now? Its to the point now where they just hope they don't get totally embarrassed on the road and wait to come home to actually start playing inspired ball.
Credit to the Cavs and the Hawks for sure, but this Celtics team has looked like a mediocre team on the road so far in the playoffs. Missing wide open shots 5 straight times down the floor, making 1 out of 2 at the line consistently, passing the ball 20 feet from the basket for the first 18-20 seconds of a possession is not going to win them any ball games...guarenteed. Think outside the box. Try anything. This style of play is obviously not working with whom they have out there.
