Boston has been playing horrible as of late as well. Ainge is so concerned he's scrambling for a trade.

Ok just a couple of things I noticed tonight:
The first thing I noticed for the first time in many years tonight was that when PF were being switched out on the perimeter tonight, that when their guy was jacking up an outside 3, they were cheating off it and running. Sometimes they were just taking off as soon as the shot was launched. That is good. That is how you get easy buckets. If they miss, you hope one of your guys gets the rebound. If they make, you get an easy bucket anyhow. Either way it's an easy bucket in response for somebody taking a 3. Please do more of this!
Rudy - Nice to see him break out of his slump. He played well tonight IMO even though he had the early misses. He was more agressive going to the rim once he missed a few, and that helped him out. Sometimes you just need to see the ball go through the hoop once to get it going.
Martell-Great game tonight. I was really pleased with the way he put the ball on the floor, but somehow didn't look out as control as always. I swear the best thing this kid could do is quit making all those shots attacking the rim so ridiculously hard. Just make the easy shot/dunk. Tonight he was doing that. It made his outside game that much harder to guard, because when he is hitting outside, it opens up the inside.
Bayless is still having some games where the speed of the game is getting to him. Some games it slows down for him, and he plays well. Some games, he rushes it too much. I am hoping the playing time will help slow the game down for him, and bring him into a comfort zone where he quits pressing so much. That is the same reason his outside shooting is suffereing. He often rushes his shots.
