critical area that has to be worked on

[rollie mass]

nothing worse than being an unreliable free throw shooter during playoffs
this issue will come back to haunt the celts  and this is aimed at jaylen (,amir and kelly)
close games are won at foul line,lineups are dictated in 4th by poor shooters and for a player closing and drawing contact like jaylen does -he better spend nights at the foul line,marcus fixed his in a dramatic turnaround this season--
rozier has to work on back court pressure and clock and then there will be inbounds pressure -we saw what that did against suns

Jaylen needs to master this area, I agree.   He should be ending practice with 100 FTs.

Probably a couple more pressing things than free throws when we are second in the league in %.

Agreed. Rebounding is clearly our biggest issue. We can get stops when we need to. We can get open looks with great ball movement. We just need to limit opposing possessions.

Isn't that slightly misleading because of the volume of our FTs that Isaiah shoots? Come playoffs I imagine teams will look to force the ball out of ITs hands more which will lead to the rest of the team having to make plays, and increase the number of times they go to the FT line.

Nothing drives me crazy like giving up offensive rebounds. Opponent get a new clock, and another chance to score on a defense that has already defended for extended seconds.

Yep, missing free throws is second. That's the reason I would never want a center that can't hit them.
