the practice will help us

[gustusias]

We now had 2 days between games and the time to practice on one of these days.If memory serves me correctly, this will only help us clean up all these messy fouls and ballhandling mistakes we have been making.The last several games Doc has not been able to practice these guys, while Orlando has been. I really feel the lack of practices contributed to the sloppy ballhandling, screensand picks, the uneccessary fouls,etc.. God I wish this thing would begin already.

Yeah, I agree, I think it will help Boston. Here are some interesting news about this practice (from Boston.com) :

The Celtics had a two-day break between games for the first time since early April. "It probably helps both teams the same," Rivers said. "Obviously, it's nice to have it. We haven't had it in I don't know how long. But it's good to get, no doubt. This is the first practice we've had in quite some time. More importantly, it gives us a chance to have a practice. When you don't practice, you have slippage. And we've had a ton of slippage. Our film today was all on execution and things we should be doing. But when we don't practice, you don't work on everything and you slip a little bit."

And some interesting quotes from Mikki :

Mikki Moore defended well against Rashard Lewis in Game 4 but did not play in the last two games. "I'm very blessed to be in the second round," Moore said. "I wish that I could contribute to the success of our team. I played against Rashard, I played with Rashard, and I've been the practice guy that's played against Rashard. I've just got to wait and see if Doc is going to use me or not. I'm the type of guy that's going to sit back and wait for an opportunity. He is just telling me to stay ready. That's all I can do."
