Are we really winning? While playing this badly??
unfortunately it encourages our players to maintain the mediocre play because they know they can still win. Walton's right, the celtics toy with teams and don't focus against poorer opponents.
I agree with you...I hate this attitude.
Just my opinion - with the exception of a few box-outs missed, The Celtics are playing hard. Portland is always a tough out in Portland. LaMarcus is a really good player, Przbylla is back, and they are trying to out-run us.
My take? Portland is trying their best to beat us, and we are still winning, taking their best shots so far.
And Perk has been a Beast!! Without his hustle, we may be down 4 instead of up 4.
