Jason !!! –Well put–even after months of both inconsistent Offense and defense that comes and goes, I think that maybe i’ts other areas we should be most worried about,particularly rebounding and careless turnovers. The Celtics clean up these areas I think they go deep into the playoffs.Do they have the commitment to limiting the opponent to one shot? Wil the second unit rebound?—The C’s have the ability but do they have the desire?

I have been semi-defending Sheed recently as many rip him, but my patience is worn out. After reading the Simmons article yesterday, I watched Sheed even more carefully than usual. What a dog. It is astounding.

On one possession that sums it all up, Rasheed was under the defensive glass and the Cs rebounded a Raps miss. Rasheed very slowly turned up court, starting to walk towards the offensive end, and quickly vanishing off. The other four guys got into the half court pretty quickly and moved it around the perimeter, looking for an angle. I think the possession ended when the Raps called a TO. With 11 seconds left on the shot clock, Rasheed was still NOT IN THE PICTURE. 8:33 remaining in Q2. See for yourself.

There was one great sequence last night where Calderon took 4 steps to get a fast break lay-up, immediately followed by Perk doing his patented pivot foot-change shuffle for a lay-in – no call on either blatant travel.
