KG, get low.

Perkins, get low.


Powe, get low.



Ray if you are guarded by Fisher, get low.




Perimeter player with the ball, if someone gets in position low, pass it in.  Don't dribble away.



The few times they went low, good things happened on offense.

They were clicking best, offensively, tonight when they were establishing the post.  They definitely seemed to get away from it and it hurt 'em. 

If the low post is working, everything else seems to fall into place.

I thought it was more about the post players not establishing position down on the block than the perimeter players not looking to make passes into the post.

it is a combo. 



The Celtics really need to do something to help establish position.   Use a weakside screen to get KG position.

they have no one strong enough to guard perk in the post, but we refuse to use him on offense for some reason . . . KG isnt getting position, where perk gets it with ease and we still dont go to him i dont get it
