Dude didn’t even play a quarter and a half yet was 10/5 with regards to points/rebounds while shooting 40% from three, so that’s 21/11 per 36 minutes. Just what we needed off the bench, and was possibly the difference between winning a tight game versus winning comfortably (the latter being much better for our health!).

Let’s go, Musky! Welcome home in Boston!

Just wanted to second the Musky love.

But, fun fact: Muscala was taken a few picks before Celtics bench legend.... Colton Iverson. :o

He's excelling with the open looks he's getting off the ball movement we have. I think it's been aided by teams (mistakenly) going all in on stopping Tatum, giving our shooters good looks

The Moose has really fit in very well with this team. He might have a bigger role than what was originally expected. Having him and Sam together with JT will drive the opposing defenses nuts.

Another great performance by Musky. He’s quickly turning into the next fan-fave lunch pail Celtic!

I don't know if some of it is the injuries (knee) but he hasn't done much since the Break, nor has he played as much. Hoping he can regain some of that momentum again starting today

Yeah, quite a turn around.  First 3 games, average 13.3 pts/4.7 rebs in 26 min, decent shooting efficiency.

Then after about 2 weeks without playing, 2 games, 3 total points, 2 total rebounds, and pretty poor defense, especially the game against CLE.

Even if you leave out the MIL game where he played 44 min (we were severely short handed), the first two games were great, about 16 min per, about 11 pts per.  I am guessing (hoping) he got some minor injury in the MIL game and these last 2 games aren't the really Muscala, but there was not much to instill any confidence based on the CLE game in particular.

Doesn't even feel like we have Muscala on our roster anymore. He barely gets used. This was our trade deadline acquisition (and likely our only outside addition in-season)?? ugh

Marcus minutes up = Musky and Grant minutes down. Probably can leave Grant low but need to reduce Smart minutes to get more time for Musky. Smart is struggling and Musky needs a legit shot.

Muscala should play when Grant Williams' minutes are cut. Muscala's offense is valuable.

I am shocked by how little he has played lately.

Moose or Musky?  Which is used by the team?

Nether, he just sits on the bench.

He needs to be able to defend at an acceptably-below-average level before he gets steady minutes. 

Right now guy’s defense has him looking like Jabari Parker out there.
