If you can avoid fouling and challenge the shot that's all well and good. But when you're beat you have to make the other team earn it at the charity stripe.Maybe you weren't watching the play but there were 3 Celtics back on that fast break so there was no need to make a desperation attempt at drawing a charge. But you are right Scal doesn't have the athletic ability to defend which is why he flops/reaches in so often.The other Celtics weren't in a position to stop the man with the ball from going straight to the basket.As for whether or not I was watching the game, that's a strange attempt to counter my argument, accusing me of not watching a game when I've been posting in this thread the entire game....Relax there genius I wasn't accusing you of anything I merely said MAYBE you weren't watching the play that's all. Maybe means possibly as in maybe you went to get a drink or walk the dog.

And yet another foul for Scal way to contribute
Nice ball movement and great finish by Tony in that sequence.
Scal gets on the floor because he always gives full effort and does what he is told to do. You can have all the talent in the world but you have to play with in the team concept.
Sheed really has it down in regards to banking it.
