Re: The thing that drives me nuts...

The Celts win when with their present makeup, they play super defense
causing confusion, shoot plenty of 3's, and go one on one to the hoop.
Keeping turnover's down.

 We are lacking basketball instinct. These guys don't respond because they
don't get the ball often anyway, and when they do, it's like a blacktop lot
game. Chaos. So movement becomes static. When Pierce gets the ball, usually
each trip down the floor, he takes his time, and decides whether to shoot
immediately or drive to the basket, all this while faking 2-3 times. In the
meantime 2 defensive players have converged upon him and cover him like a
blanket.

Walker usually plays out of control, and guess what? He has to. Someone else
has to put points on the board.

Anderson, is ready for the History book. The rest of the check cashers have
no clue. They can beat New Jersey if they can return to what got them
here.............whatever that was.
