LOL I wish I could find out Rajon's 3PT% with the shot clock expiring. It's getting to the point where I'm expecting it to go in.

  • Antawn Jamison = awful defender
  • Shaquille O'Neal = awful defender
  • Mo Williams = poor-to-very poor defender
  • Anthony Parker = mediocre defender
The Celtics have to punish the Cavs when they put this collection of players out on the court.

I assume you mean Shaq is horrid on pick and roll defense, which I agree with. However, his size alone, even in his high 30s, can cause problems.

And Pierce got screwed. I didn't know the Cavs could step into our slashers' paths.
At this moment in time, I think Shaq's team defense in general is abysmal. Earlier in the season, he was a flawed team defender but at least he was making good interior defensive rotations ... but since coming back from the injuries, I'm not seeing those. The number of poor/slow rotations far outweigh the solid ones.

I think O'Neal's entire contributions in team defense situations are horrific. Add in his flawed man-to-man defense (good in the paint, bad away from the paint) and you have the equivalent of Andrea Bargnani in one of his worse days.

You'd think at some point they will toss the scouting report and try to get the ball out of his hands at the end.  Geez!

+4 after one quarter where the 2nd unit played almost all the minutes while Doc rests the starters for the end of the game, gotta feel good about this.

Although the turnovers are killing us, too many of them already.

Same exact shot, spot, and time he hit the 3 last game. I think it put us to 26 as well. Spooky.

  • You say when......
Rondo can shoot...besides, if his shot gets more dependble..they will have to go out and cover him, giving him more space.......but you knew that..!

At this point, would you mind it if Rondo was the only option available to take a GW shot?  I sure wouldn't.
