howard doesn't look good on offense...

The game plan is not to guard Rondo today. He is going to have to make a bunch of jump shots if they stick to this defense.

Dwight got rid of it before that left foot came down again. Looked weird, but I think it was OK, going by how traveling gets called these days.

I don't know about you guys, but when Dwight does that running hook shot from so far out, it just annoys me and makes me nervous...it's such a low percentage shot.

i know, he should just kick it back out

davis and perkins are using their girth to push him out of his comfort zone... dwight needs to get position lower

I've been saying it all series, leave Rondo out on the perimeter, he can't make those, and if he does you live with it

Agreed. He looks so clumsy taking that shot.

I agree. It looked funny, but on the replay, it looked legal. He caught it in stride, took a step, and dropped it off. That's what it looked like to me, at least.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

we need Rafer not taking bad shots, and get the ball to Lewis in the post. Turk needs to drive to the basket and Dwight needs to step up on defense.

pietrus is dumb... why does he always bite on that fake by pierce... it's not even that convincing... he does it 90% of the time before he shoots

Pietrus is a good defender, but not smart.
