What the hell - did the Celtics change hand powder at the start of this game? It's like our guys just cannot catch a pass.
I actually don't mind how Green started the game. He wasn't super aggressive but he was WAY more aggressive then he was in the first 5 games. At least he tried to post up and tried to score. He made a couple of decent passes as well but the guys on the other end just let the ball go straight through their hands.
Bass inside scares me...he's like Perk in the post. Every time he catches an offensive rebound he brings the ball back down, gives the defense plenty of time to surround him with three players, and then tries to go back up. Why??? One shot today he grabbed the offense board and had a good 2-3 seconds with nobody near him to put it back up...but he brought it down instead. By the time he went back up there were 2-3 defenders around him. He did get fouled and went to the line, but we could have had 2 easy points.
That's the thing I like about Sully. When he grabs a reboud he doesn't bring it down - he goes straight up with it and mos of the time he scores as a result.
Out defensive rebounding has been disgusting - every posesstion we are giving them at least 2-3 chances to score. We are just so [dang] lucky they are missing their shots, because we should be down by at least 15 right now.
I like that Green is looking to at least try to score when he's getting the ball now. Missed a few shots but that's ok - as he takes more shots he'll start getting in a rythym, but he can't ever score if he doesn't try.
Pierce and Rondo have been throwing way too many risky passes over the last few games. They keep driving hard to the basket and then trying to pass out through 2 or 3 opposing players. The majority of the time when they do this it's leading to turnovers, and even when one of our guys DOES catch it, they usually struggle to do so and end up not being in a position to score.
