Bulpett is noticing the same thing



Here's a passage from today's Steve Bulpett piece in the Herald. Sound like
he's noticing the same things I mentioned in the last post.

Here it is:

With the addition of Tony Delk and Rodney Rogers, the Celtics are far more
fit for bombing missions. When it was just Antoine Walker and Paul Pierce,
opponents had only to fear one or the other entering an unconscious
offensive state. Now the Celts can inflict pain from a number of sources.

That makes it a matter of ball movement - no small thing with this group.
Quick shots with hands in their faces are still at times the bane of their
offensive existence.

It's not that Pierce and Walker are out looking for numbers. It's more a
case where the co-captains will try to take responsibility and shoot the
club out of a valley. The fact they can do it on occasion only makes it more
dangerous.

Coach Jim O'Brien has said that his group is near impossible to stop when
the members don't care who's getting the shots. Considering the Celts now
have five real shooters on the court most of the time, he is growing more
correct by the day.
