We just need to be patient. I’d hate to use the DPE now say on a guard only to see another one of our wings get hurt later on. Wait until trade/buyout deadline and we’ll have more options, and hopefully Morris back.  I’m not overly concerned right now.

The bench is pretty terrible, offensively. I wish we didn’t have to play Semi rotation minutes. He’s like Smart without the playmaking while only giving average defense. In other words, a net negative. But them’s the breaks. There’s no other wing player left, especially with both Morris and Hayward out.

That's one of those games that the team just wants to lose.

Semi isn't the problem. Larkin isn't the problem. Sometimes Smart is the problem. I've noticed that Smart will combine mistakes. He will take a bad shot, then turn around and make a stupid foul. He is a great defensive player but has drawn a rep for being a flopper and doesn't get the calls like he should.

I just question some of the rotations where we have little to no offense on the floor and Smart and Rozier are taking more shots than Tatum. I suggested moving Tatum to bench but that may be to drastic. Maybe sub him out first and then bring him back with the 2nd unit when the starters begin to come out.

We need to always have to scorers on the floor. The question is...is Rozier considered a scorer? We can't have Larkin\Rozier, Smart, Semi, Tatum and Theis on the floor and go to Smart and Rozier for scoring...not going to work.

Great win last night. I thought for sure we p---ed that one away.

Greg Monroe buyout rumors are floating around yet again. Phoenix wants to keep Isaiah Canaan and Monroe is the logical candidate to be cut/traded/bought out. Will he be a good fit in Boston?

Here's a list. There are a number of players on there I would rather have than some of our guys:

That's an ugly list but I think Diaw would be a good 2nd unit veteran big.
interesting thought
