So I'm watching the Celtics v. Spurs on Sunday, and our commentators Marc Jackson, Jeff Van Gundy, and the other guy, simply cannot contain their feelings in how intense, aggresive and active Boston's defence is. How their hands are always slapping at the ball and disrupting passing lanes.
Sorry - their defence is not that good. Its illegal. I have simply never seen so many fouls in my life.
According to our colour commentators (who I actually think are the best two I've heard all season), Duncan had many rebounds "poked" out of his hands while he and other Boston players were "battling" for the ball. Another way to put it was that Duncan was an unknowing participant in a UFC match.
Seriously - I respect that the presence of Garnett has turned around this team 180 degrees. I'm a huge fan of Ray Allen, and Pierce is playing some great all around b-ball, but am I supposed to believe that Eddie House, Tony Allen, James Posey, Rajon Rondo, Kendrick Perkins, Leon Powe, and the rest of the Celtics all of a sudden all world defence? Most of which played on the same team that went 24-58 last year? No way.
Pay attention to all the reaching in, slaps, elbows, and other "great defensive schemes" devised by their crack coaching staff.
