Jamison & boards killed us

[asterix ninetynine]

The outcome is not surprising when you consider that the Wizards have been flying under everyone's radar for quite some time.  This game was all about team defense (and rebounding is part of that).  Compared to last season, the Celtics have the most improved defense (points allowed) in the league, but do you know who has the second most improved defense?  That's right, the Wiz.

Both teams play excellent team defense and we can expect another good game on Monday, although my money is on the good guys in green.

Not to say the sky is falling, but has anyone else noticed how often we
really struggle in the 4th quarter?  Even in earlier games when we had big
leads, we had a lot of trouble in the 4th.  We have a long way to go, but
this can not happen in the playoffs.  Depth and inside scoring are still  a
concern to me.  We rely much to much on jumpers and more often than not in
the playoffs, jumpers don't fall with regularity!  We still are 1 or 2 moves
away from being a lock for the finals.  Troy

In the last 3 games the C's have been out rebounded:
49-30 WAS
52-44 NJ
42-40 CHA

Anyone have any insight as to why this is happening?  Is Perkins hurt?
