guess I should have also given the other side.

The celtics are next to last in overall fg pct, at .406.  They're the only
team that is actually shooting worse overall than from the 3 pt line.
Chicago is close at .385 to .383.  I guess that means the celtics
shouldn't take anything but 3 pt shots.  :)  Just kidding, I know how
y'all love watching Walker and McCarty taking 3's.

Anyway, I think what it does mean is that they're taking too many
contested jump shots, and not enough layups.  Or at least they're not
making their layups.  Of course trying to shoot with people ripping your
arms off at the elbows doesn't help.  Thanx Mathis and crew.

It does give hope that with some better ball movement, this team isn't
hopeless when it comes to scoring.  Defense and managing the game (good
call, Tommy H.) are what they're lacking at the end of games.  And those
things tend to come with time and experience.  Things don't look totally
hopeless.
