Re: Celtics had a growth spurt

We did have 39 attempts at the line. It's not the refs fault they weren't
made. You fail to mention PP's last offensive foul a blind person could have
called in crunch time. It may have cost us the game. Pierce's drives are of
the awkward type and slow developing. The refs zero in on him easily with
his telegraphed moves.
