Half-court offense

[Mike Dynon <mdynon@ix.netcom.com>]

As we've seen, the Celts' shooting percentage is woeful. I feel the
half-court sets are too predictable.  Billups stands at the top of the
key, while his teammates run in circles around low-post picks, yet it
never seems as if they are actually expecting the ball.  Another pattern
brings the center out high on the right to receive the ball, then look
inside; that's fine if it's Knight, but no one guards Ellison or DeClerq
out there because they can't make the shot.

They need to get away from the college-style perimeter passing, and give
Billups more chance to penetrate.  Also, two-man games with Walker and
the PG or Mercer could also be effective.  It's got to work better than
this style that leads to 37% shooting.
