After watching some of the highlights and a bit of the game, I'm still optimistic about this team's opportunity vs NY and the postseason.
If we get 4 pts and TEN REBOUNDS, plus solid D - from BASS the rest of the series and playoffs? I'm happy.
Jeff Green has arrived - boy has he. The man CAN and WILL carry us at times offensively, vs just about ANY team from here on out....and he is getting better defensively. That last shot with Melo hitting that 3 with Jeff draped all over him? I'll give Melo that shot ALL DAY, myself...he won't hit those much more often vs BOS.
Paul Pierce and KG won't have bad shooting nights on Tues and the rest of the post-season.
Jason Terry WON'T go 0-4...Lord I hope he doesn't
.
Avery Bradley is STILL learning the PG spot...he is not and will never be Rajon - but he is all we have right now....and personally I'm happy with that. He did not play well from a PGs perspective, but he WILL play better. I believe that.
On Tue (and the remainder of the postseaon) BOS won't have the swell of emotions to deal with in regards to the tragedy of last week.
NY got this one, but boy they'd better hope that Carmelo Anthony can average 36-40 pts the rest of the way.
And Carmelo WON'T do that.
I'm still happy BOS is playing NY, and we'll right the ship here soon.
