Who's winning the rebounding battle?

Celtics are 28-23

Stats only tell part of the story.  Gortat has kept balls alive inside that later turn into buckets by someone else or tapped out to re-set the Wiz offense.  He's been killing us inside.

Giving up too many uncontested layups. And we're not hitting open shots.

We can win this game!

Hard and at times illegal moving screens have resulted in those layups.

Key difference in the game and the 2 pt deficiet has been turnovers resulting in fast break layups.

Screen Assists are a stat?

There's Gortat again with the hard screen, roll to the basket, passes the ball out for the open 3.

Terrible. Our defense is just lightyears away from where it was at the beginning of the season. Not nearly the energy out on the perimeter that we started the year with.

They're not and that's the point.  You wouldn't know how the shots are going down unless you watch the game and see how the points are being created.

The C's need to find an answer to the Wiz' screens.  The game is well within reach.

  • GOT IT!!!
The bench are biggest the reason they aren't down at least 15. Talk about irony.

Credit other teams for doing scouting and film review. The scheme (switching constantly) is the problem, NOT th execution.
