RE: The Boston Celtics Mailing List Digest V9 #360

["Harris, Tommy L" <Tommy.Harris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My thoughts on the Celtic's Trick .... Washington had the Treat:

Obie needs to take some lessons on how to coach.  He letting the guys play
pick-up 
ball.  No plays and basically zero ball movement.  Four guys standing on the
perimeter 
waiting to launch a three.
Toine ... is it possible to play a game, not score, yet pull down 12
rebounds, hand out 7 assists, have 3 steals, ZERO turnovers, play solid
defense, and still be effective?  
The answer is YES!  
Why doesn't Toine post up more often and look to pass out of the
double-team?  
And why not go to EWill in the post when Stackhouse was guarding him? 
Kwame made Vinni look like the youngster.  Vinni ... ever heard of a head
fake to 
get the defender in the air so you can then draw contact?
Shammo ... there's more to playing guard than dribbling on the perimeter and
waiting 
to shoot a three.  Ever heard of cutting or something called the
"pick-and-roll"?
Bruno Sundov is GARBAGE!  He is a pitiful rebounder, pathetic defender, and
knows nothing about ball movement.  And some say he an effective Shooter?
Yeah, right!
JR Bremer ... doesn't have a clue.  A NDBL player, at best.
Wallace needs to resign.  He is probably the worst GM in the league.  His
trades have 
ruined team Chemistry.
I know it's only the second game, but the Celtic's need to go back to the
drawing board.

Obonoball has got to go now if we have any chance of saving this season.
This
is not just a bad offensive team, it is a NO offense team.  run down the
court
and first man with ball fire up a brick 3.  NO movement anywhere, just the
other 4 standing around watching the guy with the ball as he throws up a
brick
or gets it taken from him before he even gets to shoot.  Awful, terrible.
Can't watch stuff like that.  I love basketball, live for basketball, but
that
would make me a WNBA fan in a heartbeat.  At least the women run an offense
and pass and shoot good shots.   I think I predicted 35 or 37 wins this
year,
I bet that is to high.  Time will tell.
Get rid of Obie and Wallosto now while we still have time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree Dan, two games does not a season make.   However, coupled with 
the preseason, they leave me a little nervous about this team and where 
it is going.  Seeing Sundov launching threes left and right left me 
feeling slightly nauseous.  Right now, there seems to to be no 
discipline on the team - shot selection if nonexistent, ball rotation is 
lacking, and defense is laughable.  They arent playing as a team and 
personally, I believe that meshing these guys together starts with the 
coach, who tweaks his sytem as needed and gets everyone on the same page.
