They're showing the recap and the most obvious think is that the Celtics are a much quicker team than we are. We desperately need to go faster in transition IMHO. I'd like to see the Kings quit trying so hard to get steals and just play solid defense.
ET says:
Defense has been a point of emphasis - on the flight out and before the game - but for some reason the weak side just wasn't aware. We're gonna do a better job on that in the second half. On offense, we're gonna keep moving the ball and looking for the open man.
