I thought KG deserved a PF but nothing beyond that. Instead KG got ejected, a couple of more guys got Technicals and then the Suns got to shoot 6 consecutive free throws after we had our best run of the game. That's when we threw in the towel and deservedly so. Doc didn't deserve to get thrown either. Refs had it out for Celtics tonight. Early foul trouble and very tired looking after the travel and very physical game with the Trail Blazers. I pretty much figured we'd lose tonight even before the game began. They looked tired and I think the slow start, bad officiating and fatigue just took them right out of this. I'm gonna be like others and just say it was a throw away game created by horrid scheduling.
My #1 concern tonight is our Offensive Rebounding is worrysome. Defensively we at least have a shot at it, but Offensively it seems like guys are not going towards the ball. If it doesn't go in, it's like the other team has it no problem. I'm noticing this too much and it reminds me of the Finals. Forget about tonights game. That's easy. But the lack of effort a lot of times on the boards makes me concerned.
I totally expect Sunday's Lakers game to be a much more physical and energetic affair and I see us taking it to the Lakers unlike the effort tonight. But still, our rebounding worries me.
