The Boston Celtics 16 man roster are playing Chemistry B-Ball with offensive lineups and defensive lineups. Its strange to see how well these lineups are condition to perform well together, the thought that coach Doc Rivers has graduated to this level of Pro Ball will be amazing this season.
Boston will be playing organized postseason B-Ball in the regular season with all 12 players.
So do not look for a Knick Win tonight vs the Celtics this team is organized in just 6 preseason games. They are looking for blowouts and lowering their oponents scoring.
I think its time for Dantoni to make the quick change of letting the 2nd Unit start and the 1st Unit come off the bench to experiment with Boston.
2nd unit: Nate, Marbury, Chandler, Malik (No Shooting), and Curry.
1st unit: Duhorn, Crawful, Q.Rich, Zach, and Lee.
I dont know if anyone notice in last night game or in the Nets vs Celtics game, but Boston has the deepest depth chart off the bench than all the teams in the league. Denver is 2nd, and New Orleans is 3rd.
The system-plan inwhich all 3 of these teams are playing to their bench players has been improving each game to make the team excell.
The Knicks shot 4-31 three's in this game. That is a sure sign of undevelope frustration. It would've been understandable if the 24 second shot clock was down to 4 or 2 seconds left. No body is going to defend a player standing on the three point line especially if the players are Zach, Lee, Q.Rich, Malik, and Crawful who totaled 16 shots from the 3-point line.
The Knicks last two games their PG beat all his teammates up the court there was no teammates running on either side of the PG wings to pass to.
What happen to the uptempo run n gun system?
It look like the Knicks fell back into their halfcourt offense attack from last season in their last two games. However, the Nets & Celtics are running teams.... I just thought that coach Dantoni would have come up with an uptempo plan on how to beat both teams back before they could set up their defense.
Mardy Collins defensive performance has always been better than Crawful offensive performance from college to the NBA.
Eddie House should've been arguing with Crawful they both have the same roles on their team.
