post Utah impressions

[Celtic4Hire@xxxxxxx]

Pierce is presently intimidated offensively. He is constantly looking for the 
foul instead of rising up and concentrating on the shot. Maybe he has been 
watching EWill and Twan too long....

Tommy is becoming more openly critical of  Obie's offensive strategy, lack of 
fast break fundamentals and substitution....

Bremer is in a funk right now. Tommy also pointed out that Bremer is shooting 
more threes per minute played than any other player this year and maybe in 
history. They also correctly pointed out that the slow-footed but sneaky 
Stockton was able to burn Bremer often. I believe that was more because of 
the funneling defensive strategy more than anything else....

Watching the Jazz, ignoring the crap that Stockton and Malone pull, reminds 
me of the Celtics of old. Great picks, cutting and passing. Getting by with 
less athletic talent but excelling on fundamentals and team play. You just 
look at them and say '"Now that's basketball". The Cs did play a little 
better than they have for a few games but it was probably was because they 
had watched tapes of Utah and their fundamental play had rubbed off....

Right now, I have to think Cowens would be a great coach for the Cs as a 
change. He understands the art of passing and could rearrange and bust open 
this crap that Obie has got these guys doing. He would bring back the fast 
break. Walter, Kedrick, Battie, Delk, Bremer and PP would all benefit from 
the fast break, motion and mid-range game. Twan and EWill would not and 
should be traded. It just works out perfect that both of these guys are 
towards the end of their contracts. (Baker doesn't work in this either but 
maybe he would work good as a changeup guy coming off the bench). Cowens 
hasn't had that much success as a coach but I think he will be the right 
coach at the right time. I think the Cs have a lot more talent than what is 
showing and are being limited by the coaching strategy, subsitution, 
discipline and teaching....
