The Sox score eight runs and still get pounded by a weak Tampa Bay batting order with their ace on the mound. Instead of belaboring that shit-show, I’m doing a quick recap of Tuesday’s Celtics game for those who missed it.
- Brian Scalabrine: Celtics need to play with purpose.
- Celtics miss an ill-advised three-pointer.
- Brian Scalabrine: Celtics need to shoot the ball with confidence
- Celtics miss an ill-advised three-pointer.
- Brian Scalabrine: I’ll take that miss, they’re shooting with confidence.
- Celtics down 43-28 after scoring just SEVEN points in the first quarter.
All bitching aside, her is the actual game play-by-play for part of the third quarter:
- Substitution: Jared Sullinger in for Amir Johnson.
- 6:30 Atlanta Substitution: Mike Scott in for Al Horford.
- 6:21 Boston Mike Scott steals the ball from Jared Sullinger.
- 6:10 Atlanta Kent Bazemore misses a 3-point jump shot from 23 feet out.
- 6:10 Boston Loose Ball foul committed by Jared Sullinger.
- 6:05 Atlanta Offensive foul committed by Paul Millsap. 38-51
- 6:05 Atlanta Paul Millsap is charged with a turnover due to a foul.
- 5:56 Boston Jared Sullinger misses a jump shot from 20 feet out.
- 5:55 Atlanta Mike Scott with a defensive rebound.
- 5:33 Atlanta Jeff Teague makes a driving layup from 1 foot out.
- 5:23 Boston Offensive foul committed by Jared Sullinger.
- 5:23 Boston Jared Sullinger is charged with a turnover due to a foul.
Let me summarize that 1:07 of stellar play for Jared Sullinger: three fouls (one offensive), a missed shot and a turnover.
I wish that was just a bad stretch but it’s a pretty good sample of just how bad he’s been in the first two games. Not to mention being clueless trying to guard Hereford. Sullener spends most of the game wandering around with his palms up looking dumbfounded. Bench his lazy ass.
Next key to the game: ban all three-pointers. The team is 16-for-63 (25%) and a lot of those misses came in the first half of each game, helping to dig the hole.
Must-win game on Friday.
