I can't even get mad anymore. I'm watching this game with no emotion. Until Ab gets back and we make a trade for a talented big this is what we are.

How to beat the celtics...well, #1, they don't box out, #2, they shoot mostly jumpers and do not rebound their own shots, #3, keep sending your guys down low....the Celts D will NOT stay with their man...so someone will always be open in the paint......PP will play VERY loose , lazy D....
we play bad man-zone

Our level of intensity on D just does not match up to the Bulls.  We need to stop taking so many jump shots and get to the rim, and force the issue.

On D, we need to play a lot smarter.  Wilcox got caught in mid switch on Nate when he hit his 2nd 3 pointer.  Gotta stay with the shooter if you are going to switch, you can't just leave him have a wide open 3.

This is also what I get from the players' body language. They're just going through the motions... they've quitted trying and they just wait until AB comes back or a trade happens and then turn on the switch once again this year. Not gonna happen! :(

I really wonder if we are doubling way too much right now. It is putting our bigs out of position way way too much.  We aren't athletic enough at the 4/5 to play D the way Doc is trying to make them.  Thus we are always leaving open guys down low = good fg % for our opponents.

A bad offensive Bulls team scored 55 points in the first half.

Good effort to get it within 7, but the defense continues to stink.
