lee's inability to finish

[rollie mass]

i thought his inability to finnish off at rim after a nice feed was a turning point-ah!!! common!!! echoed through my house late in morning,a 5hr time difference in england
maybe he should hit the gym tone up and work on lift
i hate to be critical but he is being outplayed
maybe i am resentful and unable to see his impact

Your dismay is at least 3 games old. He's been solid/good since, so your timing is extremely questionable and it points towards sour grapes that your binkie Zeller is eating the bench.

I was concerned about it too but he has done well lately.  His D is still pretty had at times but his O has improved.

Well he flubbed the shot which is a lot better then him forcing a shot at the rim.

He's actually been good lately at finding clean air to get his shot off.

Here here. I was very surprised that he struggled so much to get easy buckets early. His offensive game is all about being crafty near the rim and he's been showing that lately. Playing him with Zeller a lot probably isn't the best idea. With how good Sully and KO have been playing, I'd rather see him next to one of them.

Why not focus on Bradley's inability to finish any open lay up at the rim as opposed to a good Lee who flubbed one this year.

i stated i didn't want to be critical but after he blew that shot, i thought the wind went out of sails ,i had earlier posted that i thought the europe trip set the celts back along with flu-but if i was 32 i wouldn't want to start season not in shape and at 32 he would have put emphasis on geting stronger-
as to comment about zeller and him not working ,seems i was right and as to others playing better lee played only 11 minutes--not a lee hater,just expected more from a vet on the court in early season-every game counts

I'm hoping he's just rusty since he didn't get very many minutes last year. He seems to already be playing better and maybe with more reps he may get back some of those minutes he lost.

no one could seem to get the friendly roll on close shots against the Hawks. In a small role, Lee is doing a good job.

Agree with Keep Rondo

Not calling him finished yet.

He is getting some decent looks ...just not getting them to go in.

When he does get it going , the C's really take off , kinda like KO when he is hitting his shot .....Celtics are hard to handle.

Not giving up yet ....he sat out most of last season and he is adjusting too.

Last night he didn't look great but the 3 games before that he played very well. I think consistent minutes would help him out.

If he was getting a consistent 20 minutes a game I think you would see better output. That being said I'd rather give Jerebko those minutes than Lee.

Agreed. I think he's been at the very least active on defense... he still gets eaten up with talented bigs that know how to work the post. Still consider him the worst defensive big we have easily.
