What an amazing display of fastbreak basketball the first half of last nights game brought us. A team sharing the ball, running the floor well, hustling for loose balls, etc. Then came the second half and all of that effort disappeared. Today, I'm encouraged by the first half and completely disgusted with the second half. A Tale of 2 Half's "The Celtics led the Kings in rebounding in the first half 28-16. That'll be the last of the good news I deliver for this game. To put it simply, everything that the C's did right and well in the first half, they didn't do in the second half. By the end of the 3rd quarter, I needed a bench shot of Doc Rivers to be reminded that this team wasn't still being coached by Jim O'Brien. We stopped running, We stopped passing, We stopped playing defense, We started trying to play one on one ball."
The Celtics played a good game against the Kings.The Celtics displayed to me that they have a lot of talent and heart and that they are hungry for competition.I Forsee plenty of good things happening for the Celtics in the future,as Doc Rivers is a great coach who will do this team some good,and in another year or so there going to be playoff bound..if not sooner. The Kings won,but barely.it was fight to the end,and i give my props to the Celtics for giving us a fight on our hands.
