Oh, and by the way, kudos to coach Stevens for having the stones to bench Jeff Green down the stretch in that game.

I sure didn't miss him.  Wake up, Jeff.

Huh? The guy shot 60% tonight. Don't quite understand the criticism, sorry.

On 5 shots.

If he's our best player he should take more than five.

I did not see the entire game but happy enough to see the third to back up this claim.

Three possessions, he did nothing but stand up. He could at least, i don't know, ask for the ball. Or maybe he could at least move around and position himself better. Or maybe he could have move around and try to get open.

But no, he was just there, like a fan watching the game, only he's on the playing court.

Bradley killed us down the stretch.  Bad pass by Courtney Lee and he didn't step towards it (it was on Lee too)  but layup.   Two back to back TO's.   The PG experiment should end and hide him in a corner where he can drill the shot.   I realize we need his D but he is not a PG.

Is Humphries hurt?

Yeah what's wrong with Hump??

Can we get atleast a 10 day contract while waiting for Pressy to comeback... fish is available i think he's serviceable PG
Is Pressey hurt?

Ankle injury and is Day-to-Day basis
Amateurs worry about equipment, professionals worry about money, masters worry about light… I just take pictures…

Another respectable loss.  We kept it under 20.  2 out of 3 objectives complete.  I'll take it.

#1 - Hard-fought loss.  CHECK!

#2 - Good development out of Oly (15 points 8 boards), Bradley (13, 8, 3, 3) and Fav (8 points, couple boards and a block in 19 minutes).  CHECK!

#3 - The bad contracts failed to perform tonight.  Wallace, Bass and Lee all stunk it up.  No trade-value increasing stat padding from those losers.   

2 out of 3 aint bad, but I need to see more production from the overpaid vets so we can trade those sacks of crap out of here.

Also want to see more from Obese SUllinger.  He hasn't been impressing me at all. 

Overall, not a bad game.  B-

I think Stevens is still experimenting with the lineups.

Sorry, I haven't seen the box score yet.  I felt like he had the right guys on the floor to close out that game.  Maybe Crawford for Lee would have been nice, but hindsight's 20/20.

I'm not sure how or why Wallace plays over Green.

That was confusing to me too.

Because Crash was giving effort on both ends of the floor.  I don't know, maybe I'm nuts, but I thought Jeff needed to be on the bench down the stretch of that game.  He's our most talented player, but he needs a wake up call.

I really didn't think Rondo would make that much of a difference because of the shooting and defensive deficiencies but seeing as how the Celtics could be undefeated if they didn't dissolve into a puddle of turnovers late in the fourth quarter, he really might.  This team might be really solid with him back because he's sure not going to commit the same dumb turnovers that Bradley has in the 4th quarters.

Olynyk earned the minutes at center.  He was our best interior defender.  Coach Stevens did a lot of good things out there.  He took some risks and they almost paid off.

He had his fighters out there down the stretch.  You can't fault Brad for that.

Stevens has got to be tanking and showcasing. Wallace playing over Green is absurd. Wallace was terrible. Sullinger and Faverani are our two best big men, yet we get Bass and Olynyk for most of the game. I see Olynyk getting packaged with a pick and/or other players by February. Bradley is playing too poorly to get moved, but not giving him an extension made him much more tradeable to a team that needs a defensive guard down the stretch this season.

The starting front court should be Olynyk and Fav.

Thank you.  Somebody else actually watched the game.

If that's the reason, maybe I guess.  Could be argued.

Wallace is really bad though.

In tonight's game Klynyk and Thumper were clearly our best bigs.  I don't even see how that's debatable. 

Honest question--not trying to be a jerk--but, did you watch the game tonight?

Oh and by the way.  KO is probably our best shooter passer and screener.
I really think he should make in bound passes at end game situations.

Too bad he can't pass the ball to himself when he is in the post.  He is our best post passer as well.

KO is definitely the 2nd best passer on the team and the best passer currently in uniform.
