the Celtics defense looks OK to you ??   8)

let me clue you in on an amazing stat since "The Trade"  -  all of the sudden, OKC is allowing less "points in the paint" per game and the Celtics are giving up more, as in a 2-to-1 margin in the loss to Memphis tonite.

i can't imagine why that would be ??

Yes, the defense only gave up 90 points.  The offense is sputtering and Rondo's decision making isn't helping.

C'Mon Bank. We have little to no interior play on offense or defense. KG is gonna get burnt out and Baby needs to move back into his bench role.

the number of points is really not relevant. we just are not controlling the paint and it's killing us. 11 offensive rebounds for MEM doesn't help.

Yes, we're missing one of the O'Neals, but they still only gave up 90 points.  KG didn't do enough and got owned in the paint and Krstic was horrible and didn't give anything (that's where one of the O'Neals come in) and Rondo killed us with his decision making and jumpshots.

Doc addressed this the other night. Our defense functions as a unit. One-on-one play does not do it for our system. so KG getting owned has as much to do with having no back up out there right now as it does with him not getting the job done.

when you are missing the leg of a table it's just not going to function like it should.
