Oh yeah, I agree, 2 fouls on anyone and OB pulls em. Pierce was out for long
time. Too long, for our 1st go to guy. Our shooters are also passing off too
much. I'd rather go down with Pierce and Toine and Rogers taking most of the
shots. Never know when the rest will show up. If they do it's a bonus.
Battie an example, 0 fer 2,  McCarty 0 fer 0 in 16 minutes, is that
possible?? Rogers 2/11, not much bench support. Plain and simple folks, we
need this game desperately. Especially with the Pistons fine rookie out.
Otherwise the Celts will be booking Oceanside rooms.
