Vogul is probably fired if the lakers lose this game. Reports have been swirling and this would be a bad loss. Levert just dominating.

When last time both Celtics & Lakers both miss playoffs the same year??
Quote from: Birdman on January 20, 2022, 07:10:33 AMWhen last time both Celtics & Lakers both miss playoffs the same year??Without looking I would guess either the year before the Celtics drafted Marcus Smart or the year before the Lakers got Shaq Edit: nope, apparently the Lakers were good that last season without Shaq. It was a couple years earlier
Please look away if you dislike our current front office:Garrison Mathews helped the Rockets upset the Jazz (in Utah).Off the bench, Mathews put up 23 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 50 FG%, 55.6 3P%, 80 FT% (8-10)

C's offered him the two way slot they gave Broderic Thomas, but Mathews said no. It was reported that Mathews wanted a full roster slot and thought Hauser, who was already signed, had a lot of overlap of skills with Mathews. And given the performances of the three young guys(Nesmith, Pritchard and Romeo) in Summer League and the pre-season, not offering a full roster spot contract seemed the right move at the time. I don't blame the C's for Mathews not being here. He chose to go elsewhere.

Ever year we have too many dead roster spots used on guys that see no time.

Ever year we have too many dead roster spots used on guys that see no time.And if a pig had wings it could fly. At the time, Mathews didn't show enough to warrant a roster slot. One of the worst teams in the league, Houston, only brought him in on a two-way before converting it to a full roster slot contract. Mathews took another two-way someplace he thought he could get playing time. He had to be talked into taking that two-way with Houston. He contemplated leaving basketball. It's not like Boston offered less than Houston. Matthews just did not have confidence he would have an opportunity here so rejected the Celtics. The Celtics did not reject him or offer him anything less than Houston.

Before it's considered hindsight I'd like to say that is a waste of two spots that could be filled with shooters. Right now we have Smart, Nesmith injured TIMELORD out for personal reasons, Hauser, Thomas, Bruno who won't be played. Bol Bol and Dozier. 8 out of 17 players are unavailable. That's half the roster.

That's half the roster.What shooter is out there who should be signed? Is he any better of a player than Hauser, who is a shooter who already isn't played?I do expect that we'll open a roster spot by the deadline for a free agent, and/or have enough tax space that we could cut Fernando to sign one.
