RE: first half

["John Lyell" <Jlyell@concentric.net>]

They have only won one road game this year (1-10), the first one in Toronto,
so I would not be surprised if we had an o-fer road trip.  No bench, no
consistent inside game, spells trouble. There were a couple of time we had
Closs on Walker we should have went inside every time but didn't. If you
watch the good teams you will notice excellent ball movement to find the
open man, or the mismatch, we can not seem to do this consistently and seem
to always get forced shots.


Although you may not like Walton's comments, some may be the truth. we have
went from 10-8 with a lot of home games to what 11-16. You can make what
ever excuses you want but the plain truth is this team has no depth, little
if any inside presence, and plays matador defense.

We were outscored 15-2 at the start of the 4th. You can't let that happen
too often and win games.

I hope Fortson can do something if not we need to go get a Ben Wallace or Bo
Outlaw to help out inside. When a rookie 2/3 is leading your team in
rebounding you have big problems inside.

Or how about his "Keith Closs is an emerging star in this league" comment?
Or his "the Clippers are just toying with the Celtics" comment.  Or his "the
only way Celtic fans get to see the playoffs this year is if Pitino buys
