Yeah, I don't know man.
Wall had 19 points with 4 minutes left in regulation, then in the final 9 minutes when the Celtics only had a big on the floor for about one of those minutes he went off for 15 more points, almost all of them on layups.
Certainly felt like he was given a green light to drive to me.
Good pick-up McPickl.

Brad's post-game presser: "
going super small hurt us on defense". Yep, also hurt us on the boards. Brad really doesn't need to go
small so often
