If Celts pull one out here, Wyc and Brad will use this game to rationalize keeping 2nd-Row-Joe, saving face, hurt feelings and most important to ownership, saving money.
That’s my fear too. The only thing that changed tonight is the 3 ball variance.
Well, that and the defensive intensity. But they appear to be a package deal, unfortunately.
But the formula is there. Play the aggressive D, get stops, and get out in transition. Don't let them set up their defense. That's what's going to ultimately be best for your offense. That and mixing in more inside out threes and less early threes off of perimeter passes.
