ECF Game 2 Pistons at Celtics 5/22 8:30 PM ESPN

[MetroGlobe]

We had 9 TOs and let them shoot 51% in the first half.  Can we reverse this issue? 

I think we can turn up the D.  We were over rotating and shooters like Hunter and Billups were ending up with wide open shots at the end of the posession.  Definitely can't allow that to continue if we hope to win this thing.

My thoughts on the first half:

House as a PG is killing them.  I love the energy he brings and the wrinkle he adds to the offense, but he can not be our main ball handler.  They just pressure him and it hurts the offense.  Bad.

TA has no brains.  Doesnt he remember the game he helped lose when he went for an up fake?

What was the line up of BBD, Posey, Rondo, Brown, and Pierce?  This is why I dont like Doc.

KG needs to get the ball in the post more.  Too many times at the end of the 2nd he was catching it out at the top of the key.

How does rip hamilton not get fouls called on him?  When ever he is guarding the ball he grabs and slaps the hell out of their arms.  Not to mention all the crap he pulls when he is running those curls.

I agree with everything you said, particularly about that BBD, Posey, Brown, Pierce, Rondo Lineup.  It's the Playoffs!  A lineup like that can quickly lose you 5 points, even if they're all hustling to the max.  Never ever a good move.  Similar lineup in the 4th of game 6 in Cleveland killed us...

We will this when the refs tighten up the calls in the 2nd half.

I concur.  In the second half of the last game the Celts also helped the refs a bit by forcing the foul issue.  Not sure it's biased but some of these weak calls have really hurt the Celts rhythm.

We come out attacking and get an easy basket ... more of THAT!

I'm sounding like a broken record, but it's amazing what happens when you run.

[Bahku]

Running, attacking, catching up ... what a difference! I LOVE it!

[Andy Jick]

nice run!!  tied up.

[RebusRankin]

Ray!!!!!!

KG!!!!

Better pace, more aggression.

We need to be aggressive like John Rambo.

[SaCaCh]

So we attack the hoop and Rondo gets tripped and still no call, I guess blood is needed first...




PS. WOW a third Tommy point!!! Thanks whomever!
