Doc just summed it up. They had their chances, they just didn't capitalize. That is why they will win it in the Garden one way or another. They play better at home, Rondo in particular.
Doc told KG we have to play hard, but we have to play smart. Said his foul trouble really hurt. Hopefully he already knows his free throw trouble hurt too. He seemed to be pressing all evening, and the team was tentative out of the gate. Once they got it going they were fine, it's just too hard to come back from down 20 night after night. Pierce looks drained and subdued. Said they have to keep LA from getting off to a big first quarter lead because it is too hard to have to fight back from.
Weird, they are both flying out late tomorrow AM which puts them home at dinner time tomorrow. Doc says they may not have more than a walkthrough. Why would they not fly home tonight...or given that case why would the NBA not have given them the extra travel day.
