Is it too early to say Danny went 0 for 4 in the draft?

Not sure what you were expecting with their draft positions. I think GWill was a good pick and has produced. Romeo was always a project. Regarding Carsen and Tremont, they're second rounders, so they shouldn't be expected to contribute that much. Yet I will say that I'm pretty disappointed with Carsen. Thought he'd be more impactful off the bench for us, yet now it seems like Tremont is favored over him.

So I've been okay with trading Smart the last few games....


I take it back now. 😆

Not sure this is a slump anymore. They are falling down the standings.

Team has no bench at all beyond Kanter & Smart, so if any of their top 5 are out, that offense won't be replaced.  It's a talent problem.

is hayward hurt ?

Monday will not be pretty. Meltdown begins.

Take out Smart and Green and The Celtics are 0-10 from 3...

Tatum simply not a star in my view.  If he's making shots then sure, but what's his go to when he's not making them?  A step back three pointer?  Awful.

This team got me to believe...  This last stretch games has been so disappointing.  I really didn't think the C's were going to look this bad for this long.  A game or 2 of course, but this is an ugly trend.  Shorthanded tonight, but should still be taking care of home court .  One stretch of good D tonight and that was it.   Very frustrating to watch right now.

Something isn't right. He is just a place holder out there at this point.

The team just fell off a cliff!

Not only too ealry, it's already looks wrong.  Williams is definitely a player.  Romeo yet to be seen but I don't see anything discouraging when he plays.  Waters would surprise if he made it, and he might make it.  Edwards I've always been bearish on.  Don't see much of a future for him but we'll see.

I have no idea why Romeo doesn't play more. Every time he's in he looks good. He'd look even better if they ever ran a play for him.  Give him Haywards minutes.

Did Robert Williams have hip replacement?

I'm not convinced that any of them can play. GWill is undersized and can't shoot at this point. Carsen has done nothing, Waters has had success against G League level comp so it's too soon to call him a bust, but Langford can't even crack this lineup when the guys ahead of him are contributing next to nothing.  How good can he be?  They gave these guys all kinds of hype - but so far none of them of shown that they're NBA caliber players.

Not able to watch today. How has Ayton's defense looked? Some people on RealGM claiming he is much improved this year on D.
