Nothing easy in the paint for the Pels. We really raised our D after Q1.

Also, no more one foot fadeaways for JB. Back to moving the ball and cutting please.

Big to big passing from the floor is a lost art.

The Pels are the opposite of they're better than what their record says.

I think this Pels team is not as good as what their record says.

This has been the best defense for a quarter.I have seen and quite some time for boston. Not just the shot blocking but very energized all around.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Return to Boston Celtics
