Some sort of end of period play that does not involve (a) ISO  (b) dribbling out the clock?   I just don't understand how a savvy, veteran team with so many options keeps throwing away a couple of possessions every night.  I realize that last night's game was unlikely to be won, but for a long time the C's hung around.  Ray's subpar night didn't help and his clunking a technical FT followed by Rondo's running out the clock kept the halftime lead at 8 when it could have been 4 or 5, a hunge psychologiacl difference.

To digress, Nate had a wide-open three that he missed with the lead at 9 and tons of time remaining.  Then Nelson walked into a long three that effectively ended any chances for the good guys.
