In a make-or-miss league, “Follow-Up” the bouncing ball

Lost amidst the overall tepid reaction to the C’s “a win is a win” Monday evening on the parquet was the 19 – 6 pasting the boys put on the sprightly South Floridians in “Follow-Up” points.

That +13 on the “F-U” chart was the sixth time this season Boston could boast of a double-digit edge in Offensive Board Production, their fifth victory under such conditions – the lone loss at home to the defending champs.

On the flip-side of that coin, the Celtics have been bested by 10+ F-U points in nine separate ballgames. Perhaps surprisingly, Brad’s crew has managed to win four times under those circumstances – including the surmounting of an 18-point F-Unky obstacle against the Cavs the first week in February.
