Bob Ryan AND the TV announcers of yesterday's game continually pointed to the '76's poor shooting %. Message to Bob Ryan: tell Doug Collins how to set up a 1/2 court offense. Almost every 76er shot attempt was contested(its called the playoffs ya know). Without an offensive set that gets open looks the % will always be low. Just passing the ball around and then taking desperate jumpers(and 3pt bombs), is not the recipe for winning playoff BB.

That game last night was an utter fiasco and an insult to real basketball fans everywhere. I wanted to absolutely gouge my eyes out at least 15 different times. Play time is over for the Celtics, The real test is coming up and as far as I'm concerned they're not prepared.
