Re: Celtics had a growth spurt

It's clear PP is showing us more of what he can't do than can do. 3
offensive fouls in a close game tells a lot. He's over playing his ability.
The last foul just pushing off the defender in crunch time was way too
obvious. As much as I like him he doesn't look like a team player. It's all
about Paul so far. His 1st shot coming back off of 4 fouls and a lengthy
bench stay was a 3, yeah he made it but it was the 1st time he touched the
ball  and didn't look for another option.

The Toronto game will tell us more about Atkins and Hunter. If these 2 guys
continue to impress, it will be a successful season and DA will have more
maneuvering room.
