The Cs should be getting more boards because they are making more of a concerted effort to go into the paint, thank God. Those closer shots mean Perk & KG can have higher fg% (last game, perfect from the field) & get to the line more. You see jump shooting teams all the team be on fire then go ice cold for stretches, but the post just flat out gives you ez shots.

Perk is getting better & better, but I think Sheed looks like he has the best post moves. Other teams hate to see Sheed down in the post because he is so slick down there. I think maybe why Sheed hates the post is because he gets hacked a lot & sometimes misses the shot with no call from the refs—and we all know how he feels about that…

Rondo & Quis are very good in the open court together. Quis is a fantastic finisher. He runs that slant & slashes to the basket with really nice stuff around the basket. Rondo is the best at getting people the ball in transition. Wonder if there is some way to take advantage of that? That bench has younger legs which should like to run more. Even Shelden runs the court well. Wonder if there is some rotation where you could have Paul playing point forward some (similar to Turk on Orlando last year) to give Rajon some time to take advantage of the benches younger legs ?

I remember watching an interview done with Celtics coach, K.C. Jones
once. He was angry. The reporter asked why. He said, ‘there is no way a rebound should ever hit the floor. That’s just a lack of effort.’ I see rebounds constantly, even last night, coming off the rim & actually bouncing on the floor before anyone gets to the ball. It’s like everybody goes into spectator mode. Rondo used to be really good at tracking those rebounds down, but sometimes now he looks like he is lost in spectator mode. I don’t ever remember that happening with Rodman. He was a beast. You could see that Rodman enjoyed rebounding. When teams treat defense & rebounding like chores then you get lackluster efforts.
