Re: A foul delay

Yo, I'm with you all the way. Except for some sloppiness, the Celts played a
whale of a game. Intense defense on both sides. A few shots missed at the
end could have spelled doom for the Phillyettes. The big difference was the
turnovers, Celts by 9+. More snap needs to be put on the passes. A few
bounces here and there wouldn't hurt either. Many were telegraphed.
