celts lost on free throws

[rollie mass]

they shot only 62%, the bulls shot 73% and got to line 30 times to celts 24
this is nba you got to hit your foul shots,its one thing to get beat on boards but not beat yourselves from foul line
celts must focus on things they can control

The refs were quite poor.  I absolutely cannot stand when players get the charge call in the backcourt like they let Butler get away with.  Really that's a dangerous play, but it's just a BS play.  That's not a basketball play.

FTs cost us.  To me that is going to happen.   I think boxing out across the board really lost the Celtics the game.  They need to clean it up.  If a big challenges a shot, guys need to rotate down and box out the next bigs for their team.  That really was not happening.

Agreed. Giving up 18 offensive rebounds killed us. I'm just wondering how we could fix that. I think Kelly is a slight upgrade on the glass over Zeller but he isn't plugging that hole. I suppose Smart would had helped some also but we need more then just a little help on the glass. Danny is probably going to have to make a trade.

We were outrebounded 55 to 36.

I think the extra rebounding will have to come from the wings.

Crowder needs to grab some boards...
