When the refs take over a game because they are influenced by the home teams fans, we have to take matters into are own hands. This team needs to force the refs to make calls in our favor. We have to force the action by becoming more aggressive.
The only problem is we are a soft, jump shooting team. Instead of driving hard to the basket, we pull up for 18-23 footers or 16-20 foot fall aways. And when our outside shot isn't falling, we are in huge trouble.
We shot 4-19 from 3's. Ray Allen choked, going 1-8 from 3's. KG all choked down the stretch, being soft and turning the ball over. I've been saying KG is overrated and shouldn't be considered for the MVP, now maybe people can finally see why I've been saying this.
Paul Pierce started out hot and faded away. I know he fouled out, see the 1st paragraph about the refs. But there is no excuse for Pierce to take 12 shots the entire game, 2 less than Rondo. Are you **** kidding me?
This is the 2nd time in the series were our best offensive player has taken less shots than Rondo. Great coaching, Doc.
Again, a combination of a bad coach and a lack of low post game means very low to no chance to a championship. If it wasn't for Tom Thibodeau and his defense, we would have been playing crapy like this the whole season. On offense, we are living by the 3 and dying by the 3.
