Hoping for some improvement in the chemistry—the most important challenge they face.

Good vision by Pierce on that three by Terry.

good evening everyone. Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

Hi Rosalie, and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. So far, Celts protecting the basket pretty well inside and just half a step late on jumpers. Pretty decent ball movement on the offensive end. They ran an initial play and two options on one possession.

Forget what I said about protecting the middle.

gee Matty, I have a great recipe for a cheesecake/pumpkin pie. It is great!
Hubby loves it!

looks like Terry came to play

I was sure they'd call a travel on Pierce.

that was a big step he took!

I thought he shuffled a lot when he pivoted for the shot. Those are the home non-calls people forget to mention when they rail at the refs.

Parker just blew by Rondo. I really think he has to start playing better defense

The game is so slow for Pierce. It's a beautiful thing to watch when he's shooting well.

That's the other side of Pierce. I absolutely detest the idea of waiting until there are four second left to hoist a shot. The other team's set. They know the ball-handler has no good option except to shoot. So the shot gets blocked. Duh! Why the fanaticism about allowing the opponent to get the ball back with four seconds to go and the entire court to cover? Double duh!!

Too much jump shooting, no driving to the basket at all. I really hate that they have turned into a jumpshooting team

22/8 points in the paint

That was a bailout by Terry. The Celtics are playing for the jumper. They aren't even trying to get it inside and saving jumpers as a second option. There's no player movement. They just stand there until one of them gets a little daylight and works one-on-one.

No body under that basket, no offensive rebounding at all!! They deserve to be losing
