Celtics (15-4) at Thunder (10-8) 12/4

KD just "kicked" the ball with his own pair. Ouch! 

[EatSleepBreatheGreen]

And when exactly is the work with Mark Price supposed to start paying dividends ?  Still throwing up bricks from the free throw line

He's thinking about it too much. All of Price's directions probably run through Rondo's head each time he takes a FT.

something like this:

"Okay, take three dribbles...(check)
Deep Breath.....(check)
Bring it up...(check)
Elbow in...(check...wait....OOPS!!)"


Basketball is a game of practice, repitition, and muscle memory. They should just let him shoot however he wants, but make sure to put up a certain amount of shots each day, week, year etc. It'll go in eventually. That's his form....

Ok this is where we need to see SOMETHING out of the second unit.  If they play well they will have this entire 4th quarter to stay on the floor.

Let's see a good effort tonight and for once not have to bring the starters back into the game...

giddens??

[EatSleepBreatheGreen]

how about sum Lester? Sit Eddie down, please!

[Kiorrik]

lol @ Sheeds three. He only makes them when they're hurried? I dunno man

On Rondo's shooting:

Said it before, will say it again; yes, it takes time. Like RJ87 said, don't expect it to happen now, I believe they said april

[fairweatherfan]

Big shot by Sheed - if we can keep em at arm's length the starters can sit the whole 4th. 

Oops, there's Ray.

[RJ87]

Hmm, I'd much rather see Rondo in with this unit than Ray.

[USG]

Doc can't be too enamored with the bench's offense.

"Word."

nice job scal

[jadams5214]

Goodness the offense has no flow at all with this unit.  The great thing is hopefully Doc and Danny see that the C's still need a backup point guard.  The talk early in the season was that Marquis would assume that role but it hasn't happened.  Eddie just cannot run the offense he needs to be out on the wings ready to shoot...

At least it'll give him a chance to work on his jumpshot in a game situation... How long till Doc realizes this?

Eddie either plays the point or not at all, he can barely guard backup PGs. Having him guard 2s would be crazy.

I don't know how Scal is making 3.5m per year, but he has a great agent that's for sure
