Re: The second unit

["Tom Titus" <ttitus@mindspring.com>]

it certainly would be nice if we had a couple beside pierce who could shoot
a staight up shot with consistency of making them. last nite, the number of
shots taken before the rim was looked at was incredible the second half.
shooting percentages are very misleading; it is tha ability to execute at
crunch time that makes the difference, but look at lots of NBA players who
cannot shoot. Celtics just do not have any who can, good day. TT
