Re: Celtics stats for Boston - Philadelpha game on 7/20

[Joe Hironaka <j.hironaka@unesco.org>]

    Wait Mark, I don't see the contradiction. Boston dumps a guy who fouls too
much under the new league rules for another guy who might also foul too much
under the new league rules. That's my point. I'm not sure what yours is.

    Anyway, it's a judgement call. Assuming both guys are too foul prone for one
reason or another to get off the bench for useful minutes, then it is up to the
individual to decide whether 11.6 boards is more valuable than 1.7 blocks (or
however many Moiso has averaged) and better help defense. It depends on the
context and available players really. If we keep the Pitino system, we should
try to trade Fortson. On that I agree.

   I didn't watch the games, so it's hard to know how much the tight refereeing
reflects overkill or is a sign (Moiso's equally foul-proneness) of things to
come. It was just a number that stood out from game to game.
