i WANT Siakam..

[jpotter33]

At least more energy coming out of the half.

[SCeltic34]

Morris really has cooled off from 3 in Feb.

[SparzWizard]

Wow, the Celtics are getting blown out.

[CelticSooner]

My takeaway from this year is gonna be that I need to remember to wait to see how chemistry works out before assuming a mixture of players is going to play to their potential.

Chemistry matters a lot in basketball.

Ah well.

I put a lot of stock on chemistry. I figured this would be a tough season in that aspect but thought the overall talent could help overcome it. The bench play is so hit or miss though.

It does and the mix just isn't working. It would help if Baynes was playing because he provides a level of grit on most nights that seems to be lacking, but there's a lot going on here and it's not really easy to point to one or two things and say 'fix that and things are better'.

Celtics losses are bad for post to TP percentage..... lol

I have noticed that TPs are rare when the Celts lose.

[CptZoogs]

At least they are starting the 2nd half with some hustle and ball movement.  Just wish more shots would fall...

[Atzar]

Let's try this half without Rozier and see where we end up. 

[jpotter33]

Smart clearly upping the energy, coming up with several steals and boards.

But notice how Nurse immediately callas a timeout when we get consecutive baskets.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that anybody told him that.

[Ogaju]

time for another  player's only meeting...

Sounds like a great experiment.  Gather the data and evaluate lol

We all deserve TPs for not changing the channel.  I started by giving you one.

What a concept, huh?
