i have a quick question. numerous posted has stated the celtics are getting killed by their lack of inside play. this surprised me since it seemed clear that were the celtics to shoot 3 pointers as have historically, the celtics record now would be very likely be 10-2, and even CSers would not complain too much about that. (hint for those keeping score at home. 3 point shooting is not inside play.)
so, does anyone have anything aside form anecdotal information to show that our beloved celtics are indeed woefully inadequate inside...while at the same time taking into account that CBS likes the 3 point game. in short, just the facts ma'am.
I think that people are talking about the other end of the court. The Defensive end....
thanks liam, but again, i would ask for some information/data to show this.
All the data is based on really small amount of minutes. I have personal noticed , and maybe just green goggles here, that players don't seem as excited to drive to the hoop with Williams in the game.
Bingo. After Williams blocks a couple of shots, I noticed them pass out of his coverage.
Williams has 3 blocks, all in one game, in 7 minutes of garbage time, against Detroit's scrubs, in a game we we're winning by almost 30 points, when he entered the game. In that one game under those circumstances you noticed the Detroit scrubs passed out of Williams coverage because he blocked some shots.
Are you being serious here? Williams should get playing time ahead of Horford, Baynes and Theis because of that one 7 minute stretch in a complete blowout against scrubs? Wow!!!!
