    Sounds like a classic Nellie strategy.

    I don't think its a surprise. The only team with the possibility of catching Cleveland is LA. The Celtics' injuries have just put too much of a burden on them right now. They need to worry about getting healthy, not about catching Cleveland.

    Doesn't mean Doc should publicly state that they can't catch Cleveland. Guys like Rondo, Perk, Davis, Powe, and the like all take their cue from Doc, and this could really shoot their confidence. I think even privately stating it is a mistake, since Doc is essentially telling them to shift their attention from Cleveland to Orlando... basically, telling them to look over shoulder instead of looking at the guy in front of them. I hate that. A simple, vague 'we need to get healthy' statement would have been fine. Again, the vets don't really give a shit, its Rondo and Perk that I'm a little concerned about.
