The reason the Celtics shot down the Rockets was that we couldn't hit the 3pt shots like we did against the Lakers.
Simple, celtics is better on rebound, defense, offense. If you think there is only minor differences between two teams, you are either blind or dont watch the game. rox's played out of their mind and gutted it out but that's it, celtics is just a more able team.
we are seriously the worst team at pushing the ball. t-mac NEVER pushes the ball. he just walks up the court. thats my biggest problem with him. we can't get easy baskets when you're walking up the court allowing the defense to set up.
Watching the Hornets game now, I can't help but think that having Bonzi's "post-up" game could've helped against the Celtics a bit. Probably wouldn't have won the game, though, but just a thought.
Also Am I the only one that thought Celtics got away with alot of pushing and shoving T-mac could not get any seperation from the defender. The literally crowded him and did not worry about him getting around them cause KG was there This is where Scola hesitating on jump shots killed me he needed to pull KG out of the lane Rocket River
